5510 Dover St

1910 Craftsman with gorgeous original details throughout in family-friendly neighborhood. Only two blocks from Dover Street park, easy BART and freeway access, and of course the culinary and cultural amenities of both Berkeley and Oakland. Enter into this stately 4 BR/2 BA home and feel like you have stepped into a Fitzgerald novel. Rich wood paneling, solid heavy doors, high coved ceilings, and an ornate fireplace decorated with the most beautiful green tiles you’ve ever seen. This house is a jewel box of vintage discoveries: in a small office find a French window that takes up most of a wall, original oval brass door knobs, wood moulding galore, handsome built-in cabinets and bookshelves with glass doors. However, we also appreciate the convenience of the modern kitchen with quartz countertops and walk-in pantry, and the completely remodeled downstairs bathroom.
