Mid Century Classic berkeley bungalow



We were fortunate to acquire this home from the original family that purchased it new when it first hit the market in 1939 and can certainly understand why this house was called “home” for so long. Located within walking distance to the Kensington Farmer’s market and shops and restaurants that surround Colusa Circle, this home’s location, size and setting make it a perfect place to live and enjoy life. “Updated” along the way and currently hidden behind paneling, popcorn and a palate of pink lies a fantastic period home ready to “Bee Renovated” and returned to its original charm.

Built in 1926 near the up-and-coming town center, this home is one of Kensington's originals built by the famed architect William Raymond Yelland. Yelland not only built this house but actually called it "home" with his family until he moved to Milan, Italy in the 1950's. This 4 bedroom 2 bath home graced the "Kensington Park" subdivision featuring the Arlington cable car line that once connected Berkeley to this newly developing area. Situated on a rare double lot, this home has many original elements that have been thoughtfully restored, enhanced and brought back to their earliest grandeur. Read more...
