Graceful Living in Westbrae
Offering the same layout as a grand estate, 1164 Hopkins provides the same graceful living on a smaller scale. Originally built in 1921, this charming two bedroom, one bath home in the popular Westbrae district is filled with character and charm. Known for its tree lined streets and relaxed atmosphere, Westbrae is the perfect spot to call home. With stunning original features, lovely garden patio, and idyllic location, this darling home is ready for its new owners to become a part of its history.
The large covered front porch ushers you into the home, bringing you to the formal entryway with a coat closet tucked into a charming arched alcove. Directly adjacent, the living room feels spacious and light filled. A beautiful floor to ceiling arched window is the true highlight of this space, while the original fireplace and built-in bookshelves make this room feel just as intimate as it is grand. Moving through this space brings you to the dining room. With large french doors leading out to the back garden area, this room is made for indoor/outdoor living. Further back is the adorable kitchen and charming breakfast nook. With plenty of natural light streaming in, stunning Italian tiled floors, and fully updated appliances, cooking here feels like a dream.
Connecting the bedrooms and bathroom to the main living space is a sweet hallway with even more closet space. Flanked by each bedroom is the bathroom, which features lovely original details as well as modern updates. To the left is the second bedroom, also accessible through the front closet alcove. Spacious and light-filled, the space is a delight to spend time in. To the back of the home is the primary bedroom. Truly special, this room features corner windows which invite lovely light, but still offer privacy as they are protected by exterior trees. The garden truly completes this home. Recently updated with new pavers and fencing, it is the perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon. With cafe lights intertwined with a beautiful tree, it is potentially even more beautiful in the evening.
Ideally located in the Westbrae district of Berkeley, this home is perfectly positioned in the heart of Berkeley. Located just blocks from all the shops on San Pablo in one direction and the shops on Hopkins in the other, the North Berkeley Bart station is easily accessible via the wonderful Ohlone Greenway and the incredible Monterey market is just minutes away. Add to that the wonderful Berkeley school system and you can easily see why 1164 Hopkins is such a wonderful opportunity.
