Own part of Berkeley history: The Keeler House, a 1895 masterwork of wood & glass by Bernard Maybeck. His first residential commission before designing San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, was occupied by Charles Keeler when he wrote "The Simple Home". Originally a single home; converted to flats in 1920s, w/ 3rd unit added later. This 1++bed/1-bath upper unit—1,482 SF w/ loft & garage—has been lovingly owned & preserved by local designer & past owners. Interiors showcase handcrafted authenticity w/ orig oak floors, pitched ceilings w/ exposed CA Redwood beams, & nearly floor-to-ceiling windows framing serene nature views. Gothic doorway & brick fireplace details, recessed lighting & rich woodwork express Arts and Crafts style throughout. Upper loft offers space for study or meditation retreat & even a guest bed, while the kitchen & dining area include gas range, dishwasher & pantry storage. Outdoor living spaces offer private patio & Juliet balcony capturing Bay views. Golden Gate view can also be glimpsed from living room & private balcony. Common areas w/ laundry, terraced garden & attached garage w/ 1-car parking + extra storage. Convenient to UCB, Mills Act-protected property offers tax advantages & rare investment opportunity for an architecture lover or shrewd investor.
