Description
Welcome home to the Spruce Estate, a once-in-a-generation North Berkeley estate offering extraordinary flexibility, historic character and a garden-centered way of living that feels increasingly rare. Centered around a landmark Victorian residence and complemented by a collection of independent cottages and flexible living spaces, The Spruce Estate functions as both a private sanctuary and a vibrant residential ecosystem. The lovingly-restored 1885 Victorian main residence showcases soaring ceilings, remarkable scale, and the timeless elegance reminiscent of San Francisco's celebrated Painted Ladies. The architecturally significant main home features an Italianate porch, bay windows, ceiling rosettes, and board & batten paneling. The home includes a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath upper residence and a separate 2-bedroom lower-level unit ideal for guests, extended family, rental income, or creative workspace. Beyond the winding garden paths sit three enchanting 1920s Berkeley bungalow-style storybook cottages with stucco exteriors and tiny porticos-each offering its own identity, privacy, and indoor-outdoor connection. The rear carriage house, retaining its history as a converted garage with wooden swing-out doors on the facade, offers additional flexible space for offices, studio use
