2371 Oak St Berkeley, CA 94708

Go back in time down a tree-lined pedestrian pathway near the Berkeley Rose Garden, to a 5-bedroom Spanish Colonial Revival home that has been virtually untouched for ages. Sited on a very rare double lot, the house is accessible by car up a long drive that branches off Oak Path and curves through old stone pillars to a broad turnabout. The recent removal of many decades of thick vegetation overgrowth has revealed a stunning, sweeping view of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco skyline, and sparkling blue waters of the bay. The over half-acre site is now drenched in sunlight, and the graceful architectural lines of this special home are once again visible. The home is in need of a major overhaul, although the engineer has not called for a new foundation, and bedrock is visible in the basement.
