199 Fairlawn Dr, Berkeley, CA 94708

Description

A true Mid-century modern gem, built in 1952 and meticulously maintained by one owner since 1964. This home effortlessly combines form and function with clean lines and a seamless connection to nature. The warmth of the brown shingle exterior continues inside, where the main floor features exposed wood beam ceilings, oak floors, and expansive windows that fill the space with light and provide a green vista framing a peek-a-boo view of the San Francisco skyline. The kitchen was inspired by Julia Child’s kitchen, with unfussy cabinets and pegboard! Both the kitchen and the dining room open to a marvelous brick patio and a large sun-filled level garden. The chestnut tree is in full bloom this time of year. A bedroom, bath, and study (formerly a bedroom) complete this level. The entry level has a primary bedroom, bath, and laundry, with multiple storage closets. At the street level, an expansion was completed in 2019, adding a guest suite complete with bath, kitchenette, and French doors to a front patio, which creates potential for a multi-generational household or rental income.* *Buyer to investigate.
