1810 Virginia St

Description

Welcome to this romantic 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom American Foursquare on a tree-lined street in the heart of North Berkeley, just moments from parks and popular shops. Built in 1903, the Foursquare style was a reaction to the more ornate Victorian, with a simpler floor plan, and an Arts and Crafts naturalistic style. From the moment you step onto the front porch, you'll be captivated by the artistic details such as the elegant cornices topping the columns and the diamond patterned leaded glass windows. Inside, discover a formal dining room with coved ceilings and brick fireplace, and both a family room, and a front parlor. The staircase in the entry graciously leads you to the bedrooms upstairs. There are warm, inviting fir floors that flow throughout. With a bathroom on each floor, and each sporting a classic clawfoot tub, comfort is assured. The kitchen seamlessly extends to a newly constructed backyard covered deck, overlooking a whimsical private garden with a glorious lemon tree. With 4 bedrooms upstairs, there is ample room for everyone. An added bonus awaits at the top of the stairs: a ladder in the hallway leads to a pleasantly surprising attic loft space, offering a bird's eye view of the neighborhood and distant hills. An inviting home awaits you at 1810 Virginia St!
