1023 Keeler Ave, Berkeley, CA 94708

A rare opportunity to restore a beloved Berkeley Hills home that has remained in the same family since 1940. Built in 1938, this 3 BD 2+ BA sits on a generous 6,750 SF upslope lot in one of Berkeley's most desirable neighborhoods, offering Bay views, character and exceptional potential. Inside, you'll find surprisingly level floors and beautiful original random-plank hardwood flooring, along with touches of its Art Deco heritage. The interior has been well cared for, making it easy to appreciate the home's solid bones and envision its next chapter. A functioning elevator provides access from the garage to both living levels—an uncommon feature that offers convenience and long-term flexibility. It's easy to imagine opening the kitchen, dining, and living spaces to better capture the partial Bay views and create the kind of light-filled great room so many seek. Just a few doors away is beloved Remillard Park, with lawns and dramatic rock outcroppings and is popular with climbers, children and dogs. It is one of Berkeley Hills' hidden gems. The home is livable and benefits from a recently redone roof but is being sold in its present condition and will require significant updating, including foundation work and replacement of older systems. The front stairs and garage need repair / rebuilding, offering the next owner the opportunity to comprehensively restore and modernize this special fixer. With its generous lot, original character, random-plank floors, working elevator, partial Bay views, and outstanding location near Remillard Park and North Berkeley amenities, this is a rare chance to create an exceptional home in one of Berkeley's most treasured neighborhoods.
