1630 derby st

Spacious and beautifully rebuilt, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home combines a modern lay-out with eco-friendly living right in the heart of Central Berkeley. Step inside to a formal entry with plenty of storage—hang your coats, kick off your shoes, and keep it all neat. The gourmet kitchen with island opens to the living and dining areas with custom built-ins, plus there’s a great walk-in pantry and a cool half bath. Also on the main level is a full bedroom with ensuite bath—perfect for guests—and a family room that flows out to a big deck and an amazing backyard with eco turf, sandbox, fruit trees, and gorgeous landscaping. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms, all on the same level, plus a laundry room. The primary suite has a large walk-in closet and its own office or sitting nook, while two more bedrooms share a beautifully designed bath. The remodel by the current owners went way beyond cosmetic—think heat pump, updated foundation, plumbing, electrical, new roof, and tankless water heater. Set back with just a couple entry steps, the layout is super flexible and lives easy. All in a prime Central Berkeley spot close to shops, parks, schools, and BART.
