Description

Built in 1910 and improved with intention, 1627 62nd Street is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom South Berkeley home that delivers more than its address suggests. A covered front porch and warm craftsman door set the tone. Inside, architectural columns frame a wide entry opening into a nearly 18x19-foot living room with honey-toned hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a natural flow into the dining room and kitchen beyond. The kitchen features white cabinets with black hardware, white quartz countertops, a moss green subway tile backsplash, glass pendants over the peninsula, and a gas range — all updated in 2026. The main floor includes two bedrooms, a flexible office/fourth bedroom, two full bathrooms, and a laundry room with sliding glass doors to the back deck. Out back, a wisteria-draped pergola leads to a flagstone patio surrounded by established plantings. Upstairs, a primary suite with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, built-in storage, gable windows, and an adjacent skylit sitting room. A fully floored, skylit attic runs nearly 44 feet. Many systems improvements: full seismic retrofit, new sewer lateral, complete knob-and-tube decommissioning, high-efficiency furnace, and more than $180,000 in documented capital investment. HES = 4.
