Property Description

You Only Live Once, so enjoy the perfection of 2004 Yolo Avenue! This classic 1914 Berkeley home has been renovated and reimaged keeping all of the character and charm of the era but with beautiful updates and modern creature comforts. Quality and efficiency are built in, with upgrades from the ground up. A comprehensive 2002 renovation included a complete foundation replacement, new electrical system, insulation in the walls and ceilings, and dual-pane windows. More recent remodelling has included kitchen and bathroom updates and the addition of solar panels. All renovations have been by owners who prioritized quality and energy efficiency which is reflected in the Home Energy Score of 10 out of 10! The traditional Craftsman exterior welcomes you with a deep front porch framed by substantial pillars. Inside, the inviting foyer opens to a floor plan thoughtfully adapted for modern living while retaining its original warmth and character. Rich wood accents complement the stunning chef’s kitchen, featuring an island, expansive countertops with bar seating, and a cozy breakfast nook beside the door to deck dining. The adjoining living and dining areas flow naturally from the kitchen, creating a wonderful setting for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat, with soaring ceilings, windows on three sides, a walk-in closet, a beautifully remodeled en suite bath, and a private balcony overlooking the garden and south-facing views. An adjacent bedroom offers an ideal office or flex space, while two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom occupy the opposite side of the hall. The lower level offers a world of possibilities, with versatile spaces for a home office, guests, or a family room, plus a wet bar, full bathroom, and separate entrance. Outside, the phenomenal multi-level backyard unfolds into distinct spaces for entertaining and relaxation, including view balconies, a lounge level, a grassy play area with play structure, and an adjacent accessory building ideal for a studio or indoor activities. A lower-level storage room even boasts a long history of housing fine wine! All this in an exceptional North Berkeley location, just steps from the acclaimed dining, shops, and amenities of three top districts: North Shattuck Avenue, Northbrae, and Solano Avenue, and with easy access to downtown Berkeley and BART.
