Central Berkeley
Set on one of the most beautiful blocks of Bonar Street in Berkeley, this refreshed 100+ year old Craftsman bungalow embodies authentic character with everyday practicality. The tree-lined street, peppered with little libraries and framed by mature leafy canopies, creates an idyllic backdrop for this classic home. A trellis of purple bougainvillea softens the front façade, adding to the bungalow’s undeniable curb appeal.
Step onto the wide front porch and inside, where vintage woodwork, fireplace with surround built-ins, and original hardwood floors immediately convey the home’s Craftsman heritage. Decorative layered ceilings, plate rails, and built-in hutch with drawers and glass cabinets enhance the character of the sizeable dining room. The spacious kitchen has vintage elements complimented by a contemporary floor tile, newer appliances, plus a cheerful breakfast nook with built-in seating.
Two bright bedrooms boast deep closets and share access to the bathroom, with vintage detailing. The stylish tile flooring and bidet balance the classic charm of a clawfoot tub, surround walls with subway tile, and recessed linen cubbies with glass knobs.
Step through the laundry room off the kitchen to access the backyard. A spacious deck spans the full width of the house, offering plenty of room for al fresco dining. The private yard is beautifully landscaped with raised beds for herbs, flowers, and vegetables, two mature purple-flowering trees, and bistro lights that create a warm, inviting ambiance. Best of all is a detached finished studio with glass doors, a skylight, wood floors, a large walk-in closet, and a full bathroom—an ideal guest retreat, creative workspace, or potential ADU. A rustic shed completes the backyard, adding both charm and utility.
The home’s thoughtful and smart modernization includes a brand-new roof and complete electrical rewiring, a newer water heater, and a newer forced air furnace, ensuring comfort and peace of mind.
With a Walk Score of 89, this location is a walker’s paradise, offering excellent transit options and outstanding bikeability.. Near Central Berkeley’s beloved cafés, bakeries, markets, parks, art galleries, vintage shops, yoga studios, and more. Welcome home.

about this
Neighborhood
∎
Home to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, Berkeley offers the intellectual and cultural stimulation from its campus -- which is within walking distance of downtown. Many Berkeley neighborhoods were established in the 1920s, with quiet, tree-lined streets, brown-shingled homes, and lushly landscaped yards. In Thousand Oaks, the original developers preserved ancient oak trees and left rock outcroppings intact. Elmwood, with its thriving business district, remains one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. In Claremont, the Claremont Hotel, a gleaming white Victorian-era landmark, has provided generations of Bay Area residents with a luxurious getaway.
Berkeley has long been at the forefront of culinary innovation. Locals flock to the original Peet’s Coffee & Tea location. For residents who like to savor their meals at home, small retail districts sprinkled throughout Berkeley allow them to shop like Europeans, going from store to store to purchase everything they need. Those in a hurry can always visit major grocery stores nearby.
Neighborhood green spaces abound throughout Berkeley, from small community gardens to the Berkeley Rose Garden -- which boasts more than 3,000 rose bushes. The gem of the area is 2,000-acre Tilden Regional Park, with its miles of biking and hiking trails and the naturally landscaped swimming hole at Lake Anza.
