Live Under the Oak in Westbrae
The magical blend of historical Victorian details with modern open concept interiors is hard to find, but 1462 Cornell Ave provides this and so much more. Originally built in 1916, this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 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 it’s stunning original features, gorgeous oak covered backyard, and idyllic location, this darling home is ready for its new owners to become a part of its history.
Completely redesigned, this historic home offers modern updates, while still retaining the detailing reminiscent of when it was originally built over hundred years ago. Perfect for entertaining, the living, dining and kitchen meld into a singular open floor plan. Engineered oak floors encompass the spaces, while new modern black hex floor tiling leads you into the kitchen. Here you will find gorgeous Heath tile backsplash, black Paperstone resin counters, new stainless steel appliances and a large walnut peninsula.
Off the great room you will find two of the bedrooms, one with a charming period window, and both share a refinished bath with a large tub. Located in the back of the home is the primary suite, which features large windows that look out to the garden. Off the bedroom in an updated ensuite bath with modern stacked subway tiling and white hex tile flooring, giving the space a quiet and serene feel. Sliding doors open out to the tiered patio protected by a majestic live oak tree. From lounging and reading a book to barbecuing with friends, this backyard is the perfect place to spend an afternoon. Here we also find the casita, with a newly redone roof, insulation and sheetrock, and flooring. If fully finished, this space has endless possibilities as an office, guest room, or home gym. The property has so much to offer not to mention its fresh paint, new roof and newer driveway providing all the modern conveniences for a relaxed life.
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 1462 Cornell is such a wonderful opportunity.
