Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Perched in the Berkeley hills, this North Berkeley beauty blends Spanish Mediterranean character with a distinctive, whimsical spirit all its own. 3 bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms sit above warm hardwood floors that run throughout the home. Step inside to gracious formal living and dining rooms, anchored by a raised, beautifully curved kiva designed fireplace and enriched by lovely wall and window details. A generous deck just off the living and dining rooms opens to sweeping views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, the kind of setting that makes morning coffee or an evening sunset feel like a ritual worth savoring. The home flows naturally from its elegant formal spaces into a remodeled kitchen with a wonderfully generous pantry. Outside, a meandering garden unfolds across an unusually large, sprawling lot, part formal, part whimsical, and always enchanting. Seasonal plantings reveal new surprises throughout the year, while a winding path leads to a private outdoor seating area that feels like its own artistic little oasis, perfect for leisurely weekend barbecues, entertaining friends, or quiet evenings surrounded by the garden. And then there is the lower level, a true point of difference. The entire floor can function as a private primary retreat, complete with its own office, spacious bathroom with Talavera tile and an exceptional primary suite with a walk-in closet all tucked peacefully away from the rest of the home. Or reimagine the space as a lower level in law unit or au pair retreat: private, quiet, and generously proportioned, with a sense of independence all its own. A bonus library office off the lower level adds even more flexibility, ideal for remote work or quiet study. It is a wonderfully adaptable home, something few properties can offer. Practical updates include AC, updated Roof & more. 740 Keeler Avenue sits in the North Berkeley hills, close enough to walk to a bus stop yet tucked away with that sought after hillside quiet. This is classic North Berkeley living, minutes to the shops, cafes, and Saturday morning energy of Solano Avenue, an easy stretch to Monterey Market and the Gourmet Ghetto, and close to the trails and open space of Tilden Regional Park and Indian Rock Park. UC Berkeley, downtown Berkeley, and easy access into San Francisco are all within reach, making this a rare combination of hillside retreat and everyday convenience. Whimsical, flexible, & genuinely magical, ready for its next chapter. Home energy score 4.
