2942 Harper St, Berkeley, CA 94703

This stately 5 bed/2 bath American Craftsman stands tall and proud on a lush, tree-lined street ready for your vision. From the gracious entry with its built-in shelving, under-stair coat closet, and the handsome staircase, you step into a grand living room with light-filled bay windows, large enough for entertaining a crowd. The wood pocket doors provide historic elegance and flexible separation from the dining room, which has more period details: another bay window, a fireplace with an elegant carved mantelpiece, and glass-front built-in cabinets. Beautiful hardwood floors and picture rail molding are the finishing touch. A huge kitchen (will be stunning with your love), bathroom, laundry area, and a back bedroom (or home office) complete the first-level. Upstairs, four comfortable-sized bedrooms and a bathroom flank a central landing with a pull-down ladder to the attic. Here a surprise space awaits: an art studio, office, yoga room, play space you decide. The fenced, level backyard has a patio for dining al fresco and an expanse for gardening, or even an ADU. This prime location is 1 block to Grove Park, 2.5 blocks to BART, close to Berkeley Bowl, restaurants, cafes, shops, and easy freeway access.
