1119 Milvia Street Berkeley, CA 94707

On the very first block of Milvia Street, protected from through traffic, a classic 1913 Craftsman is tucked away & private, yet so close to all of North Berkeley’s most desirable amenities. A deep front porch and gracious entry hall welcomes you with an immediate sense of ease. The spacious living room spans the width of the house with windows on three sides displaying verdant tree-top views; opposite: a handsome brick fireplace is surrounded by built-ins. The room’s western orientation captures spectacular sunset colors that warm the room evening after evening. A central dining room, with built-in cabinetry, leads to the rest of the home. The kitchen displays how functional and efficient traditional spaces can be, with a generous span of counter space and lots of cabinets and storage. The backyard has multiple entertaining areas and just the right-sized expanse of grass for play. Three bedrooms are close together on the main level, a fourth bedroom is nicely separated downstairs on a lower level which also has a full bathroom, large family room and separate entrance--and can function as a perfect guest suite. This special home is in a sought-after neighborhood, close to the Cheeseboard, Chez Panisse, Monterey Market, North Berkeley Library, and beyond.
