About 1527 Blake St
Tree-lined and unhurried, this stretch of Blake Street is quintessential Berkeley. White stucco and red tile, roses peeking over a brick and wrought-iron fence, an arched entry that has been welcoming people home for generations. Inside, the living room sets the tone: gleaming hardwood floors, a gently coved ceiling, and a tiled fireplace. Light pours in through the bay window. Next is the formal dining room, where an arched display niche, an inlaid hardwood floor border, and a lantern pendant give the space real period character. The kitchen keeps things bright and workable. Crisp white cabinetry, stone counters with a full-height backsplash, a gas range, and a window over the sink. A separate pantry with wraparound shelving sits just off the counter, and an archway opens to a sunny corner breakfast nook. Morning coffee has a home here. The primary suite is genuinely large, with a wall of closets. Its en-suite bathroom is a standout: a soaking tub, a separate glass shower, a double vanity with a seated dressing station, floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry, and a skylight overhead. The hall bedrooms are well proportioned, with more of those beautiful oak floors. Downstairs, two large finished rooms plus a full bath offer serious flexibility. Whether you need a den, home office, guest quarters, studio, or all of the above.* Sliding doors open directly to a deep backyard with a patio, ready for gardening, entertaining, or potential expansion.** A long driveway leads to a deep garage with multiple access points. A rare find and a dream for a workshop, storage, or projects. All of this just minutes from Berkeley Bowl, BART, Tanzie's, and everything that makes Berkeley, Berkeley. Buyer to investigate.
