Classic Berkeley character meets thoughtful renovation and exceptional flexibility at 1220 Channing in Poet’s Corner. High ceilings, beautifully preserved wood trim, and hardwood floors set a warm tone throughout the grand living room and formal dining room. An expansive arched window fills the living room with light, while a working fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a handsome dining room buffet showcase the home’s enduring craftsmanship. The beautifully remodeled kitchen features a center island and pantry closet, with a large balcony just outside for morning coffee and outdoor dining. A gorgeous bathroom remodel with a curbless shower brings a fresh, modern touch. The generously sized upstairs bedrooms include large closets. Like the main level, the downstairs enjoys abundant natural l ight. Here, a primary suite area pairs a bedroom with a spacious bonus room*, kitchenette, and separate entrance, offering flexibility for extended family, guests, or an in-law arrangement. A separate full one-bedroom unit at the front of the property adds further possibilities, while a soundproofing membrane between units provides added privacy. Extensive structural updates mean substantial renovation of the home’s framing as well as full-height ceilings throughout the lower level. Smart window placement allows for abundant natural light throughout the home. Mature landscaping and drought-tolerant plantings frame the private garden, creating an inviting setting for relaxing or entertaining, with a hot tub tucked beneath the balcony. A separate office below the balcony offers a dedicated space for work or creative pursuits. Named for its streets honoring poets and writers, Poet’s Corner delivers a distinctive blend of Berkeley character and everyday convenience. Nearby Strawberry Creek and San Pablo Park provide green space, a natural creek, picnic spots, and recreation courts. Neighborhood favorites put coffee, dining, and fresh ingredients close to home—from The Hidden Cafe to Spanish tapas at La Marcha and Persian specialties at Middle East Market. Berkeley Bowl West offers an exceptional selection of produce and specialty groceries, while nearby Fourth Street adds boutiques, home and garden shops, and outdoor dining to the mix. A rare combination of timeless character, thoughtful updates, and flexible living in one of Berkeley’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Buyer to investigate.
