    What's special

    Own a part of history. The Charles H. Spear House is one of the most notable and elegant Colonial Revival residences in Berkeley. Interior flooring and paint recently maintained. Home is ready to be lived in. Exterior white paint beautification would be nice. Main level grand foyer with an office/library to the left. Sliding wooden doors to a living room on the right with a brick wood burning fireplace. More sliding doors open to a great-rooom with another fireplace and dumb-waiter access from the kitchen. Behind the great room is a room that can be a 6th bedroom downstairs next to the downstairs full bathroom. The original wooden flooring is Red Oak downstairs and Fir for the hand-carved woodwork in handrails and flooring upstairs. The original kitchen would benefit from an upgrade. Up the dual staircase are 5 bedrooms, a storage closet with access to the attic, 2 full bathrooms upstairs. The front-facing bedrooms upstairs have the Jack'n'Jill bathroom. The large basement spans the length of the house and has laundry connections, storage and plenty place to finish the basement into large repurposed space with own street level entrance from backyard. The lot size is edible for an ADU.
