Property Detail

Description

Ideally located in the heart of Northbrae, 1950 Hopkins Street is a quintessential Berkeley house. Set on a wide gracious street, it charms from the start with blooming window boxes, a deep, inviting porch, and classic Craftsman character. Inside, a welcoming foyer opens to an oversized living room with wide picture windows, a central fireplace, and built-in shelving. The home flows effortlessly to a skylit chef’s kitchen and adjacent dining room—perfect for entertaining. French doors lead to a charming side yard with a fountain focal point and connects to an expansive rear deck spanning the home’s width--–a splendid setting that has hosted private musical concerts, a wedding, and is ideal for gatherings of any kind. The magical, gently sloped yard offers space for play, gardening, and quiet retreat. Upstairs are two sunny bedrooms nicely separated by an updated bathroom; the larger bedroom opens to the deck and yard. Downstairs includes a second bathroom, laundry, storage, and flexible spaces. Just one block to the North Berkeley Library and moments to Monterey Market, the North Shattuck Gourmet District, and Solano Avenue amenities. BESO score of 7.
