Historic and architecturally significant home on one of North Berkeley's most beautiful blocks! Designed by a renowned local builder for his own family as Berkeley re-built after the 1923 fire, this stucco and tile turreted home is sited on an amazing oak studded lot with gorgeous bay views. Entering the home through the iconic 'tower' brings you into its magnificent great room -- a two story space with original tinted plaster walls and hand stenciled wood beams. Restoration of this Berkeley home to its original splendor offers a new owner a chance to own a true piece of Berkeley history. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home will offer a new owner a connection to the best craftspeople of the Berkeley past, who put their stamp on many special features which remain. Several other iconic homes of Berkeley are located on Oxford street, with 920 Oxford boasting one of the best lots on the block. It is ideally located near town, but has a feeling of privacy and serenity.
