App. 6,500 sq ft lot
Welcome to 1715 Ninth Street,
- a unique uncompromising urban oasis, where one can have it all.
Located just a few blocks away from the trendy Fourth Street, this incredible home provides easy access to all Berkeley amenities while offering a tranquil and private setting of a botanical retreat seemingly miles away.
The new owner will enjoy approximately 2,500 sq ft of combined living space split between two structures.
As you enter through a secured gate, you find yourself in a lush garden facing a sun filled enclosed porch. The main house, at 1,320 sq ft, pays homage to Berkeley Craftsman’s architectural style and boasts an original wood burning fireplace with a distinct stone mantle, coved ceiling in the living room, hardwood flooring throughout, two spacious bedrooms and easy indoor - outdoor transitions. Three repurposed hacienda-style cabinet and closet doors add an artisan touch framing the dining room in a definitive style. Modern recessed lights with Lutron smart switches, built-in speakers, Nest temperature control, Ring entry surveillance, and smartphone operated irrigation system present a successful fusion of modern trends with traditional elements.
Just under 1,200 sq ft, an ADU cottage in the back is an undeniable piece de resistance.
With three individual sections comprised of a one-bedroom loft, separate office, and a laundry / utility room, this space is expressly versatile. Soaring ceilings with exposed beams, oversized windows, ceiling skylights, full kitchen and bath, abundant storage, and matchless nautical stairs leading up to bedroom quarters come short of describing this incredible gem. The office has a separate entry but can be easily incorporated into the main living area. Fit for an art studio, professional in-home office, or a high-end income producing rental unit, this building use is only limited by your imagination.
The mature immaculately maintained garden is a result of 30+ years of meticulous cultivation and warrants its own description. A fairytale-like brick path shaped by Podocarpous and Pittosporum hedges will lead you from luxuriant Wisteria to balmy Magnolia through manicured grounds. Fragrant night blooming Jasmine provides soft smells on summer nights to both bedrooms, herb garden produces all summer, while harvests from Meyer lemon espalier are year-round.
Multiple outdoor areas are set up to cater to your mood and can accommodate anything from al fresco dining to large group entertaining to private meditation.
Homes like this are not created overnight. It’s a true legacy of tradition, creativity, talent, hard work, and, most of all, love.
We welcome you to experience the beauty and spirit of this exceptional home.
