Classic Berkeley character meets thoughtful renovation and exceptional flexibility at 1220 Channing in Poet’s Corner. High ceilings, beautifully preserved wood trim, and hardwood floors set a warm tone throughout the grand living room and formal dining room. An expansive arched window fills the living room with light, while a working fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a handsome dining room buffet showcase the home’s enduring craftsmanship. The beautifully remodeled kitchen features a center island and pantry closet, with a large balcony just outside for morning coffee and outdoor dining. A gorgeous bathroom remodel with a curbless shower brings a fresh, modern touch. The generously sized upstairs bedrooms include large closets. Like the main level, the downstairs enjoys abundant natural light. Here, a primary suite area pairs a bedroom with a spacious bonus room*, kitchenette, and separate entrance, offering flexibility for extended family, guests, or an in-law arrangement. A separate full one-bedroom unit at the front of the property adds further possibilities, while a soundproofing membrane between units provides added privacy. Extensive structural updates mean substantial renovation of the home’s framing as well as full-height ceilings throughout the lower level. Smart window placement allows for abundant natural light throughout the home. Mature landscaping and drought-tolerant plantings frame the private garden, creating an inviting setting for relaxing or entertaining, with a hot tub tucked beneath the balcony. A separate office below the balcony offers a dedicated space for work or creative pursuits. Named for its streets honoring poets and writers, Poet’s Corner delivers a distinctive blend of Berkeley character and everyday convenience. Nearby Strawberry Creek and San Pablo Park provide green space, a natural creek, picnic spots, and recreation courts. Neighborhood favorites put coffee, dining, and fresh ingredients close to home—from The Hidden Cafe to Spanish tapas at La Marcha and Persian specialties at Middle East Market. Berkeley Bowl West offers an exceptional selection of produce and specialty groceries, while nearby Fourth Street adds boutiques, home and garden shops, and outdoor dining to the mix. A rare combination of timeless character, thoughtful updates, and flexible living in one of Berkeley’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Buyer to investigate.

Set on a nearly level lot in the Berkeley Hills, this reworked Craftsman pairs the familiarity of an older home with the clarity and ease of a thoughtful contemporary renovation. Held by one family for more than 50 years, the house has been rebuilt from the foundation up while preserving the details that give it character. Original stained glass windows remain alongside new white oak floors, built-in entry benches and a gas fireplace framed by custom shelving. A small powder room brings in a more playful note with patterned wallpaper, while the main living spaces remain warm, simple and connected. At the center of the house, the kitchen takes a material-driven approach. Custom white oak cabinetry is paired with counter-to-ceiling tile, a burnished plaster range hood and understated stainless-steel appliances. A pantry, speed oven, beverage refrigerator and counter seating add function without overwhelming the space. One of the most successful details is an awning window behind the sink that opens directly to an exterior countertop bar. It creates an easy connection between the kitchen and deck, extending everyday life outdoors. Built-in seating overlooks a broad, level lawn bordered by privacy planting and a Japanese maple. A TV snug just off the kitchen offers a more casual counterpoint to the open living spaces, while a tucked-away office creates room to work without feeling disconnected from the house. Upstairs, the landing frames a glimpse of the Bay and incorporates a full laundry area. Two secondary bedrooms share a bath with a custom oak vanity and tub. The primary suite is more expansive, with dual closets, a vaulted sitting area and a bath finished with a custom oak double vanity and oversized shower with built-in bench. The renovation extends beyond the visible finishes, with a new foundation, 40-year-rated roof, Marvin windows, updated electrical and plumbing, and refreshed landscaping with new irrigation. A long garage accommodates parking along with bikes, storage, workshop space or a home gym, while additional attic and basement storage support the practical side of daily life. The result is a house that feels distinctly Berkeley: layered, relaxed and considered, with enough of its history left intact to keep it from feeling overly new.
