Description

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.

Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values.

Welcome to Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values, Berkeley is a model California city that its residents are proud to call home.
 
With an abundance of restaurants, cafes, museums, bookstores, art galleries, movie theaters, and performance venues befitting a university town, Berkeley has no shortage of activities to stimulate the senses. It’s also an incredibly picturesque city, with tree-lined streets, beautiful gardens, ample parks, and hidden walkways and staircases.
 
Berkeley’s distinct neighborhoods have a range of architectural styles, including charming Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, California cottages, wooded hillside retreats, and magnificent period revival homes. Much of  Berkeley’s real estate is notable for its singular architectural styles, some of which were designed by famed architects Bernard Maybeck, John Hudson Thomas and Julia Morgan.
 
In addition to being in close proximity to the prestigious University of California at Berkeley, residents also enjoy convenient freeway access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley. Three BART stations (Ashby, Downtown Berkeley, and North Berkeley), as well as the AC Transit bus system, serve the city. If you’re looking for an escape, Tilden Regional Park offers 2,065 acres of trails, meadows and forests, just minutes from downtown. You’ll also find biking trails, a botanical garden, picnic areas, an 18-hole golf course, and a lake for swimming. For kids, there’s a carousel ride, petting zoo, steam train, pony rides, and an environmental education center.
 
Come find out for yourself why so many of our agents call Berkeley home.
