Property Description

Welcome to 1518 Josephine Street, a modern Craftsman-style residence nestled on one of the most coveted streets in North Berkeley. Just minutes from downtown Berkeley, Shattuck Avenue, North Berkeley BART, and Monterey Market, its location in a vibrant, flat, and walkable neighborhood is unparalleled. The home beautifully merges timeless architecture with contemporary updates. The interior features expansive windows in both the living and formal dining rooms, a meticulously preserved symmetrical bookcase, and an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the recently updated kitchen to the family room. Step outside to a spectacular 473 sq ft two-tiered deck with views of San Francisco, the skyline, and the bridge. The 5400 sq ft property boasts mature landscaping, diverse fruit trees, and a greenhouse. Key amenities include a detached 93 sq ft office, an oversized 442 sq ft carport that comfortably accommodates two cars, and a garage converted into a family room with a sunroom behind. Recent upgrades include a new roof and gutters (2024), updated kitchen and bathroom, newer furnace and water heater, and an upgraded electrical panel. This well-maintained three-bedroom home has been cherished by one family for over 50 years, making it a unique find on Josephine Street.
