2350 Vine St, Berkeley, CA 94708

2350 Vine Street rose from the ashes of the 1923 Berkeley Hills fire — with the original Maybeck designed fireplace intact. Eldridge T. Spencer (who once worked with Maybeck) designed the new home around the fireplace, adding his own distinctive flair. The fireplace resides in a spacious and stunning living room, complete with classic straight grained fir ceilings and original Venetian plaster walls. The fir ceilings continue into the big, sunny formal dining room. Just off the dining room is a large and very special deck with verdant garden views — a private and sunny retreat. The kitchen is equally spacious and invites the outdoors in, flowing nicely to the huge multi-tiered yard. A full bath and one of the four bedrooms is conveniently located on the main level and features wonderful garden views. Upstairs are three large bedrooms — all with ample closet space — and a second full bath. Below you will find a huge basement, along with a fully finished room leading out through French doors to the garden. This exceptional home is remarkably spacious, elegant and situated in a highly desirable Berkeley neighborhood.
