On a quiet street in one of Berkeley's favorite neighborhoods is this "diamond in the rough". In the same family since the 1940's, this spacious (2380 sq ft) 1912 vintage home needs  a fair amount of work but has loads of upside potential and  in a neighborhood to justify the effort and expense.  Good bones, and several useful reports available.  Excellent floor plan conducive to great "California indoor/outdoor living"
 Nice craftsman details too.
