The home was remodeled by the current owner, who worked with preservation and materials experts to maintain its historic character. Today, it has a population of around 20,000 and is within easy reach of popular hiking areas and the University of California, Berkeley. Off the living room is a dining room with coffered ceilings, muted gold walls and a glass door that offers access to a deck. To the left are a butler’s pantry with an original built-in china cabinet and a half bathroom with a marble-topped sink. Across the kitchen is a room currently used as a den, with French doors facing the front patio.
