1839 Dwight Way, Berkeley, CA 94703

Description

This property offers an opportunity to acquire a 1928 Craftsman bungalow in the historic McGee-Spaulding District of Berkeley. From the paned glass built-ins and mouldings, to the 2-inch oak-board flooring and Ernest Batchelder fireplace with artisan tiles, this house offers potential for thoughtful renovation. Other period features include moulded "railway carriage" and sliding-glass paned windows; farm-style kitchen with breakfast nook, California cooler, and wall-cupboard drop-down ironing board; daylight basement/laundry room with masonry sink and cooler cupboards with stenciled cutouts. The house sits on an approximately 5,130 sq ft lot, with a long driveway and hinge-windowed garage. The back garden features heirloom roses and old-wood fruit trees (olives, persimmons, Mirabelle plums) and its own patch of wide-open sky. Light-filled from various angles, this house appears beautiful in the afternoon sun. The interior of the vintage fireplace has been reconditioned and the house features seismic retrofitting with foundation bolting.
