1178 Oxford St

A beautifully revived 1912 Craftsman with farmhouse roots, 1178 Oxford Street is a magical Berkeley home with a story steeped in music and gardening. Set on nearly a quarter acre, it features rich wood detailing, multiple living spaces, and dramatic city and Bay views. The tiered gardens create a park-like setting that attracts birds and butterflies, offering serenity and inspiration. This 4-bed, 4-bath home balances original Craftsman charm with modern convenience. Highlights include a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room with built-ins and crown molding, redwood-lined studies, laundry room, in-law unit, and an attic ready for 500 sq. ft. of expansion. Upstairs, a vaulted, light-filled room opens to a balcony with sweeping views of the city and both bridges—perfect for enjoying incredible sunrises and sunsets. The slate patios and gardens invite you to extend your living space outdoors, create a retreat among redwoods and oaks, or even add a greenhouse, cabin, or ADU. Located in the lively and artistic North Berkeley neighborhood with incredible proximity to all things Berkeley including UC Berkeley, The Rose Garden, Live Oak Park, Solano Ave, Tilden Park, and some of the city’s best dining. This home blends historic elegance and breathtaking views into one timeless package.
