So charming & quaint—you’ll LOVE this fairy tale abode! Extraordinary Storybook home, a 1925 gem by W.R. Yelland (of Normandy Village fame), expanded in 2018 (w/permits) to blend old-world charm w/modern ease. Set in a majestic redwood grove, it features warm wood floors, arched doorways & vintage-inspired details that create a cozy yet elegant space. The modern wing added 2 BRs, 2 BAs, updated systems & more—preserving the home’s design & integrity. Thoughtfully planned w/captivating interiors, woodsy decks, balconies, flexibility, privacy & charm. All BRs have BAs; there’s a detached ‘casita’ shed & a secluded outdoor shower to get back to nature. Lower guest suite has its own entrance, kitchenette & living area—ideal for multi-gen living or other uses. Serene yet convenient—just up the path from Codornices Park & Rose Garden, near UC Berkeley Northside, dining & shops. W/off-street parking & a magical vibe, this is a rare Berkeley treasure!
