Property Description
Built in 1909 and cherished by only two families, this exceptional Berkeley Craftsman is rich in history, character, and possibility. Originally built by a local merchant for his daughter, the home has been lovingly preserved by both families fortunate enough to own it. The spacious interior offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, along with a formal living room, a sitting room, a dining room, and a dedicated office. An expansive 44-by-42.7-foot attic presents exciting possibilities for additional living space, a creative studio, or a private retreat, subject to city approval. Open house This Sat. & Sun 1-4 pm, will take offers on 8/25/26 at 10 am. The home sits on a level 6,750-square-foot lot—larger than many residential lots in Berkeley’s flatlands—with room for gardens, outdoor entertaining, expansion, or other future possibilities. With its graceful proportions, original Craftsman character, and remarkable history, 1331 Martin Luther King Jr. Way is a rare opportunity to restore, enhance, and become the next steward of a true Berkeley treasure.
