A rare opportunity to restore a beloved Berkeley Hills home that has remained in the same family since 1940. Built in 1938, this 3 BD 2+ BA, has 2,400 SF interior measured space and 1,751 SF of developed, sits on a generous 6,750 SF upslope lot in one of Berkeley's most desirable neighborhoods, offering Bay views, character and exceptional potential. Inside, you'll find surprisingly level floors and beautiful original wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout much of the home, along with touches of its Art Deco heritage. The interior has been well cared for and is remarkably clean, making it easy to appreciate the home's solid bones and envision its next chapter. A functioning elevator provides access from the garage to both living levels—an uncommon feature that offers convenience and long-term flexibility. It's easy to imagine opening the kitchen, dining, and living spaces to better capture the partial Bay views and create the kind of light-filled great room so many seek. Just a few doors away is beloved Remillard Park, with lawns and dramatic rock outcroppings popular with climbers. A perfect place for children, dog lovers and rock climber alike. It is one of the Berkeley Hills' hidden gems. The home is livable and benefits from a recently redone roof but is being sold in its present condition and will require significant updating, including foundation work and replacement of older systems. The front stairs and garage need repair, offering the next owner the opportunity to comprehensively restore and modernize this special fixer. With its generous lot, original character, wide-plank floors, working elevator, partial Bay views, and outstanding location near Remillard Park and North Berkeley amenities, this is a rare chance to create an exceptional home in one of Berkeley's most treasured neighborhoods.

Set behind a fenced front garden with a mature oak and a cherry tree, 1010 Keeler Avenue offers mid-century flair and a layout that just makes sense. Loved by the same family for six decades, the home comes to market for the first time in a generation. The entry is level — no steps — and opens to an updated eat-in kitchen that flows into a spacious living and dining room with access to a deck. The main level offers true single-level living: three good-sized bedrooms and two baths, including an en-suite, all on the entry floor. Both bathrooms have been updated (check out the cool floor tile!) while keeping touches of their original character. Downstairs, a fourth bedroom and bath give guests their own quarters, alongside a generous family room — complete with built-in bookshelves — that opens to a second deck. A hobby room rounds out the lower level, a flexible space waiting for your ideas — studio, videogame den, wine room, you name it. A separate exterior entrance to part of the lower level offers future ADU potential — extended family, home office, or income possibilities down the road. The indoor-outdoor flow works on both levels. The fenced front garden catches the morning sun — an ideal spot to sit with coffee or the paper — while decks off both the main living room and the downstairs family room extend the living space outside. And there is a yard too, ready for your vision. The upper deck faces West - enjoy the sunsets! The two- car garage is actually usable and the house has great storage throughout and so many closets, you will lose track if you try to count them. The practical boxes are checked too: updated electrical (no knob-and-tube), new appliances, sewer lateral compliant, and really well maintained throughout. Energy Score is a 1. The kids in this house grew up being told "go play in the park"; Remillard Park is a wonderful park with grassy areas, an awesome playground and a rock to climb (Pinnacle Rock) and it is, quite literally, just down the street. It's also a gathering place for the community. Enjoy city and Bay views from several windows, the feeling of being secluded and the convenience of a 6-minute drive from Keeler to Marin Ave to Solano Ave - and all it has to offer!
