2616 Etna St Berkeley, CA 94704

Welcome to one of Julia Morgan's earliest residential designs, in a prime Berkeley location. Built in 1905, mostly of old growth redwood, this Arts & Crafts beauty has been lovingly cared for and improved throughout its life. Morgan built houses to be lived in, blending utility and aesthetics in a way that welcomes modern living. You'll find special spaces like the library (with original Hawaiian cloth ceiling), a sleeping porch off the primary bedroom, and an accessible basement with workshop and storage. Improvements include earthquake retrofitting, newer roof, updated systems, and high-end appliances. The delightful porch and garden invite outdoor dining, veggie production, and rejuvenation that only natural beauty can provide. All this in one of Berkeley destination neighborhoods, Elmwood. Near shopping, dining, recreation, and UC Berkeley. Comfortable, calm, and truly beautiful!
