Built in 1906 and loved by the same family for nearly 30 years, this charming Gourmet District home has all the good stuff: glorious natural light, high ceilings, original hardwood floors, hand-carved details, beautiful built-ins and a cozy gas fireplace. Level-in from the street, with an en-suite bedroom on the main level, it’s also located on one of Berkeley’s beloved Bike Boulevards. And while the old Berkeley soul is very much intact, these owners have really taken care of their house. Extensive foundation + seismic work, electrical and plumbing upgrades, trenchless sewer, upgraded windows, rooftop solar, heat-pump HVAC + water heater, and a new roof in 2025. Just off the kitchen, the private courtyard feels like its own little world - quiet, tucked away and made for long dinners outside. And then there’s the location: with a Walk Score of Chez Panisse, Cheese Board Collective, Comal, Berkeley Rep, UC Berkeley and so much more are just blocks away. (97 Walk score | 96 Bike Score) A house with history, a whole lot of heart, and nearly three decades of happy living behind it. Now it’s ready for what’s next. This is a freestanding house within a small, self-managed 3-home HOA. HOME ENERGY SCORE 10

Set into the North Berkeley hills, 141 Fairlawn is one of the earliest known works of architect Andrew Batey. It was designed and built in the early 1970s, years before the Napa Valley houses and Getty Center recognition that would define Batey's career. It was commissioned by Henry Bowles, an architectural photographer who trained under Morley Baer and shot for Condé Nast, and it shows in a studied style that prized "purity, simplicity, and austerity of form" — for someone who looked at buildings for a living. More than fifty years on, it still feels ahead of its time. Step inside and the house does the thing Batey built it to do — it brings the outside in. A two-story wall of glass on an exposed frame pulls the canopy straight into the living space, and the main volume rises double-height beneath open beams, an open-tread stair climbing to the mezzanine. There is very little between you and the outdoors, and the room changes hour by hour as light and leaf-shadow move across it. Sliding doors carry the space outward: one opens onto the entry walk, a step from an expansive deck set among mature native oaks. A floor above, a second slider opens on the same wall, looking down over the quiet sitting area by the entrance. Batey worked the sloping site rather than fighting it, and the plan unfolds in levels — an updated kitchen with quartz counters and custom tile and a light-filled main floor. The main level holds a private bedroom that opens directly to a full bath — a primary suite, with a second door as its own private entrance — along with a flexible den in the far corner. Upstairs, a 400+ square foot master suite where the bedroom opens to the black-tile bath Batey returned to design in the late 1980s, lit from two skylights overhead. Beside the single-car garage sits a separate studio of roughly 300 square feet with its own sink and full bath, built as Bowles's darkroom, later given a skylight of its own — a palette for the imagination: studio, office, guest space, retreat. Redwood construction, a low-maintenance Trex deck, replacement windows on the lower level, central heat, EV charging, and a roughly 220-square-foot detached garage ground the architecture in easy livability. Home Energy Score: 5. Across the decades the house has kept its clarity: simplicity, open living, an unbroken connection to the landscape, and a quiet intelligence in every room. It is a rare thing — an architect's early vision, preserved, and exactly the way we want to live today

Welcome home to the Spruce Estate, a once-in-a-generation North Berkeley estate offering extraordinary flexibility, historic character and a garden-centered way of living that feels increasingly rare. Centered around a landmark Victorian residence and complemented by a collection of independent cottages and flexible living spaces, The Spruce Estate functions as both a private sanctuary and a vibrant residential ecosystem. The lovingly-restored 1885 Victorian main residence showcases soaring ceilings, remarkable scale, and the timeless elegance reminiscent of San Francisco’s celebrated Painted Ladies. The architecturally significant main home features an Italianate porch, bay windows, ceiling rosettes, and board & batten paneling. The home includes a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath upper residence and a separate 2-bedroom lower-level unit ideal for guests, extended family, rental income, or creative workspace. Beyond the winding garden paths sit three enchanting 1920s Berkeley bungalow-style storybook cottages with stucco exteriors and tiny porticos—each offering its own identity, privacy, and indoor-outdoor connection. The rear carriage house, retaining its history as a converted garage with wooden swing-out doors on the facade, offers additional flexible space for offices, studio use, recreation, or future possibilities. At the heart of the estate, a lush garden oasis connects the property's residences through a network of mature fruit trees, edible gardens, raised beds, and inviting outdoor spaces. Gather beneath the trees for dinner with friends; harvest figs, pluots, blueberries, and Meyer lemons in season; or retreat to one of the many private patios and garden nooks designed for quiet reflection. The lush landscaping creates a setting that feels worlds away from the city while remaining moments from North Berkeley's vibrant shops and cafés. Whether envisioned as a multigenerational homestead, creative retreat, income-producing investment, or simply a remarkable place to call home, the property offers the opportunity to create the kind of neighborhood people dream about.

The architecturally significant main home features an Italianate porch, bay windows, ceiling rosettes, and board & batten paneling. The home includes a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath upper residence and a separate 2-bedroom lower-level unit ideal for guests, extended family, rental income, or creative workspace. Beyond the winding garden paths sit three enchanting 1920s Berkeley bungalow-style storybook cottages with stucco exteriors and tiny porticos—each offering its own identity, privacy, and indoor-outdoor connection. The rear carriage house, retaining its history as a converted garage with wooden swing-out doors on the facade, offers additional flexible space for offices, studio use, recreation, or future possibilities. At the heart of the estate, a lush garden oasis connects the property's residences through a network of mature fruit trees, edible gardens, raised beds, and inviting outdoor spaces. Gather beneath the trees for dinner with friends; harvest figs, pluots, blueberries, and Meyer lemons in season; or retreat to one of the many private patios and garden nooks designed for quiet reflection. The lush landscaping creates a setting that feels worlds away from the city while remaining moments from North Berkeley's vibrant shops and cafés. Whether envisioned as a multigenerational homestead, creative retreat, income-producing investment, or simply a remarkable place to call home, the property offers the opportunity to create the kind of neighborhood people dream about. Home Energy Score of 8.

In the heart of North Berkeley, this exceptional Craftsman offers more than a desirable address—it offers a way of life. Just moments from the Cheeseboard, Chez Panisse, and the vibrant shops and cafés that define the neighborhood, it captures the warmth, character, and sense of belonging that make people fall in love with Berkeley in the first place. Original Craftsman details greet you at every turn: rich hardwood floors that run from room to room, high ceilings that give every space room to breathe, and the kind of natural light that makes the woodwork, built-ins, and architectural details glow throughout the day. The refreshed kitchen flows seamlessly into a comfortable sitting room, creating the heart of the home. It is the place where conversations linger after dinner, homework gets finished at the table, friends gather, and everyday moments become the ones you remember. The primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with an ensuite bath and private deck that provides a peaceful place to start the day or unwind in the evening. Additional flexible spaces provide room for a home office, creative pursuits, guests, or whatever the next chapter requires. A fully independent in-law unit with its own bedroom and bath adds exceptional versatility, whether for extended family, visitors, or future possibilities. Behind the charm, the important work has already been done. The upstairs bathrooms, electrical and plumbing systems have been updated with permits, there are no galvanized pipes (in the main house), the water heater has been updated, and the roof was done in 2017. Working on BESO certification. The kind of thoughtful stewardship that allows the next owner to spend less time worrying about projects and more time enjoying the home. Outside, the garden feels like a secret garden. Fruit trees, blueberries, and raspberries are woven among mature plantings that offer beauty and abundance throughout the seasons. A generous deck extends the living space outdoors, while the oversized garage provides room not only for cars, but also for hobbies, storage, projects, and the practical needs of everyday life. Some homes ask you to compromise. This one offers character without sacrifice, charm without deferred maintenance, and a location that people spend years hoping to call home. HES score 2/10
