1514 La Loma Ave , Berkeley

Historic elegance meets modern living in the Berkeley Hills. Designed by renowned Bay Area architect John Knox Ballantine Jr. in 1925, the Brown Shingle House is one of 12 historically significant residences in the La Loma Park historic district. Extensively restored, the home preserves its Arts and Crafts character while offering updated systems and modern amenities. Original inlaid wood floors, built-in cabinetry, picture windows and architectural details complement sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Mount Tamalpais and San Francisco skyline. Upstairs, four bedrooms continue the home’s connection to its surroundings. Three face the Bay, while the fourth overlooks the wooded neighborhood. The primary bedroom was reconfigured into a larger suite with an updated bathroom and new walk-in closet. An original turret structure was retained and incorporated into an enclosed sunroom, creating a distinctive space with views in several directions. The renovation incorporates fire-resistant materials and sustainability upgrades exceeding Berkeley's BESO requirements. Ideally located near UC Berkeley, the Berkeley Rose Garden, Codornices Park and North Berkeley. https://www.zipcodeeastbay.com/real-e...
