Uncommon Space and Updated Systems in Prized North Berkeley Pocket!

Nestled in one of North Berkeley’s most prized pockets, 1715 Jaynes Street is a rare find: a spacious, flexible home that gracefully blends historic charm with modern updates, lush gardens, and an unbeatable location. Originally built in 1904 as a classic brown shingle cottage, the home was thoughtfully lifted, expanded, and redone, combining timeless character with contemporary structure and systems, including updated electrical.

 Inside, the home unfolds with easy grace: four bedrooms, two baths, and a layout designed for the rhythms of 21st-century life. The living and dining spaces flow directly into the updated kitchen, an ideal setup for festive gatherings or everyday ease. The expansive lower level, with its own street-level entrance, offers exceptional versatility. Imagine a deluxe primary retreat, a welcoming guest space, a teen sanctuary, or an inspiring workspace. A detached two-car garage offers even more potential: studio, workshop, or future ADU?

 The garden setting offers a tranquil escape, with lovely layered plantings and a hot tub retreat. It’s a private oasis for everything from quiet morning meditations to soaking beneath the stars.

 Rated "Very Walkable" and "Biker's Paradise" by the WalkScore website, the location is a great jumping-off point to enjoy the best of North Berkeley living. Enjoy easy access to BART, or explore the vibrant North Shattuck Gourmet district with its renowned restaurants, cafés, and farmers market. King Pool and King School Park (with tennis courts, playground, and track), Totland, Monterey Market, and the other Northbrae shops are just blocks away. 

Peaceful, flexible, and wildly convenient, 1715 Jaynes is a haven for modern living, offering uncommon scale and remarkable ease in one of Berkeley’s most sought-after locations.
