1342 Virginia Street

LOCATION, CHARM, AND VERSATILITY

1342 Virginia Street is the sweet, light-filled 1916 Craftsman bungalow you have been searching for in the perfect North Berkeley location. What is not apparent is that down a long driveway, there is a gated, private garden with a detached structure that brims with flexibility, utility, and potential for a multitude of purposes.* The front house is traditional: a deep front porch with solid Craftsman pillars leads to a gracious foyer, then to formal living and dining rooms. Divided-light windows bring in an abundance of natural light, highlighting details of vintage fixtures, elegant tray ceilings, and the warmth of newly refinished hardwood floors (2025). A central kitchen maintains original charm with just the right amount of modern upgrades. The two bedrooms are separated by a bathroom. The backyard deck and patio areas have perfect al fresco dining and lounging options. A long shared driveway allows part of the paved yard area to be used for car parking, if needed. At the rear edge of the property, a large, detached structure (approx. 452 sqft per measured floor plan) is thoughtfully divided into distinct areas: 1) a main area, with a private entrance, is open and versatile with a sink/countertop on one side, and an adjacent full bathroom, 2) a laundry room, and 3) a multipurpose studio with a high ceiling and skylights, plus an adjoining workshop for creative pursuits*. Located just steps from North Berkeley BART, and close to Monterey Market, cafés, parks, and all the best urban amenities.
