What's around 1211 Bonita Ave

About this property

In a lush setting of Japanese maples and bamboo, just moments from Monterey Market and Solano Avenue, lies a 3 ++ bedroom home that defies convention and captures the soul. Built in 1903 and reimagined in the 1930s by architect Carr Jones as his personal residence, it is a sculptural sanctuary filled with artistry and atmosphere. Though located in one of Berkeley?s most vibrant neighborhoods, the grounds feel like a secluded woodland, with natural pathways, dappled light, and the hush of trees. Jones? legacy lives in the details?a tiny cathedral window, hand-hammered ironwork, and a Dutch door. Skylights flood the open interior with sun, including a dramatic round skylight above the show-stopping kitchen. Brilliant blue enameled lava stone countertops and a tree trunk column anchor the space. The primary suite?s near-glass roof invites moonlight in, while whimsical tilework spills from bathroom to bedroom. Beyond the main house, a Carr Jones?crafted cottage charms with mosaic detail throughout. Above it, a treehouse-like office perches among the trees, and a separate studio with 220 wiring awaits your next creation. This is a rare and romantic retreat for artists, nature lovers, and dreamers?an unforgettable home filled with light, texture, and soul.

Seller's review

10 months ago

Tracy is extraordinary. We are forever grateful to have worked with her.

We first worked with Tracy over 20 years ago, when she helped us buy our Berkeley home. When it came time to sell, there was never a question of turning to anyone else. Tracy combines deep knowledge of the Berkeley market and local laws with a strong grasp of national economic trends. Beyond her thorough real estate expertise though, what truly sets Tracy apart is her warmth and genuine care for her clients. She takes the time to listen deeply and understand her client’s circumstances and priorities. Most importantly, she is the most ethical professional we have ever worked with. Trusting Tracy is easy, right from the get go. Naturally, we’ve recommended her to friends every chance we’ve had, and every one of them has been just as thrilled with her. Tracy is a true treasure. We cannot imagine a better agent.
