1809 Hopkins St

A true Berkeley work of creativity and re-use—an inspired Santa Fe–style bungalow in the heart of Northbrae, just moments from Monterey Market & some of Berkeley’s favorite shops & cafés. Warm & inviting with distinctive character, this 2BD/2BA home blends timeless charm with thoughtful, artisan-level upgrades, including a serene primary bedroom with a beautifully crafted built-in wooden backboard & side table, plus two lovely bathrooms: a main bath with the original cast iron tub and Italian stone tile, and a second European style bath with a skylight, Hansgrohe shower & a stunning custom western red cedar sliding door. At the heart of the home is a one-of-a-kind Country French chef’s kitchen, created by a seller who worked as a private chef for 25 years. A rare restaurant-grade vintage WOLF range, reclaimed 19th-century pine countertops sourced from London railroad stations, a Greenstone sink from a Vermont quarry, Fisher Paykel refrigerator, antique brass faucet & a cushioned rubber floor, make it as functional as it is memorable. The delightful garden offers room to relax plus a remodeled studio with Italian tile, salvaged windows & hand-painted artistic details - perfect for an office, art space, guest retreat or workout room. Home energy score of 8.
