Welcome to 1621 63rd Street, the perfect blend of industrial chic + brown shingle traditional.
Situated on a tree-lined street in South Berkeley, this section of 63rd street is not open to traffic - ending at California Street one one end, and Adeline (the Tuesday's Farmer's Market at the other).
The curb appeal of this two-story home will draw you in, and once inside you can feel the love, care, and creativity that was poured into this vibrant, custom home.
Lifted and restored in the mid-2000s, the lower level was originally designed for a ceramics studio and boasts soaring 10ft-ceilings, modern concrete floors, and floor-to-ceiling custom shelves. In recent years the art studio has been used as an in-law welcoming visiting professors, traveling nurses and out-of-town guests.
The upper level of this home has retained many of its 1910-era details and is drenched in light. With an open-concept kitchen, soaring ceilings, skylights and access to a deck, the turn-of-the century details have definetely blended perfectly with new. Huge paned-windows overlook a large private and flat backyard.
With a flexible floor plan, this home can be used a 2++ bed/1.5 bath with an in-law/guest suite, or as a 3++/2.5 bath home - enjoy space to spread out!
Replete with radiant heat throughout the home, a tankless water heater, vaulted ceilings, and modern updates, you do not have to compromise efficiency or style here.
Over the 20 years of living here, the owners of 1621 63rd Street have hosted many gatherings in the backyard - and have even hosted weddings for friends! The garden leads to a brick patio seating area adjacent to a concrete coutertop and sink (the "kitchen") where you can entertain easily and relax with guests.
There is a large attic too, plus a detached shed for great storage.
A few doors from the 63rd Street mini park, a block from Tuesday's Farmer's Market, Sweet Adeline Bakery, and with access to Rockridge, Temescal, College Ave and Ashby BART, this location can't be beat. A must see...and feel!

Neighborhood
You can't get closer to the University of California, Berkeley campus than South Berkeley, the neighborhood originally developed in the 1860s by the school’s predecessor, the College of California. The latter institution may be long gone, but the large, spacious, brown-shingled homes along Allston, Bancroft, Channing, and Dwight ways remain. Densely populated, the neighborhood contains some of the city’s oldest homes.
South Berkeley is a mix of students, longtime residents, businesses, and homes. The major thoroughfares are Telegraph Avenue, Bancroft Way, and Alcatraz Avenue, where street vendors, bookstores, record shops, and inexpensive eateries cater to students. Nightlife is abundant, thanks to the proximity to campus, Zellerbach Hall, and Downtown Berkeley.
Both the Ashby and Downtown Berkeley BART stations serve the neighborhood, as do a number of Alameda-Contra Costa Transit buses, making it a snap to get to downtown San Francisco, local airports, sports stadiums, and other locations in the Bay Area.
