Property Description

Welcome to Josephine’s Cottage (c. 1880), a reimagined modern Victorian blending historic charm with refined, contemporary design. Grand 11’ ceilings, a vaulted living room with exposed wood beams, and a striking open kitchen bring light and scale to the main living spaces. The primary suite offers a calm retreat with double closets and an en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms look out to the patio and share a hall bath. Extensively renovated with updated systems, including a heat pump for efficient heating and cooling, and an improved floor plan, this is not a generic renovation, but a home that honors its original character while elevating it for modern living. Out back, a sun-filled level garden and trellised deck set the scene for easy outdoor entertaining. A detached studio with full bath and a converted garage combine for an additional ~317 SQ FT of bonus space (for a total of 1615 sf finished space). Ideal for guests, a home office, or fitness. Right in the heart of North Berkeley’s Gourmet District—home to Chez Panisse, The Cheese Board Collective, and Live Oak Park—with cafés, shops, and the weekly farmers market just around the corner. 94 Walk Score, leave the car behind. Home Energy Score of 8/10.
