1133 Walnut Street

An exceptional opportunity in one of North Berkeley's most sought-after neighborhoods. Brimming with Deco-inspired 1940s charm, this light-filled two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow offers character, warmth, and endless potential. Set back from the street on an oversized triangular lot that widens dramatically at the rear, the property opens to a spacious, mostly level backyard with abundant possibilities. Inside, casement windows frame verdant views, while the split-level floor plan creates comfortable separation of space. The inviting living room features a gas fireplace and random-plank hardwood floors, flowing into a formal dining room and vintage eat-in kitchen with a classic O'Keefe & Merritt gas range. An adjacent laundry room adds convenience. A versatile lower-level room has both a separate exterior entry and interior access to the rest of the house. A detached outbuilding with electricity offers even more flexibility as a studio, workshop, or office. Just moments from North Shattuck Avenue, the Cheese Board, Chez Panisse, Live Oak Park, the Berkeley Rose Garden, Codornices Park, Northbrae, and Solano Avenue. HES score = 4.
