Charming 1920 Colonial In Coveted Berkeley Location

BERKELEY, CA -- Enjoyed by multiple generations, 1015 Mariposa was the beloved home of one family for over 60 years. Now, they're letting go to allow a new family to spend a half century here.

Beautiful period details blend with extensive updates in this gracious Colonial. The main level features an unusually spacious living room and dining room, and a classic spindled staircase. Over the years the family invested in thoughtful upgrades, including all dual-pane windows, an energy upgrade, seismic retrofitting and two architect-designed enhancements.

The home was expanded in the late 1990s to add a flexible suite, which can be used either as a family room, or an exceptional master bedroom.

Go inside this beautiful home.

It opens to the patio and expansive, park-like fenced garden, which offers mature trees and wonderful privacy.

More recently a period-appropriate bathroom remodel was completed upstairs, where you’ll also find three bright bedrooms with handsome vistas, one with peek-a-boo views of the Bay.

This home includes a 2019 kitchen remodel with new floors, counters and all new appliances, as well as interior painting, refinished oak floors, and new lighting throughout.
