What's around 938 San Benito Rd

About this property

Built in 1916 and thoughtfully updated, this light-filled Craftsman is set against sweeping views of the Golden Gate and the San Francisco skyline. Just a few steps up, you enter a warm interior rich with gum wood, leaded stained glass, and beautifully preserved details. The formal dining room opens to a view deck—an ideal indoor-outdoor flow. In the kitchen, a charming eat-in corner offers a cozy spot for morning coffee. On the main level, a bedroom and full bath provide flexibility with minimal steps—well-suited for guests or those looking to downsize. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms are bright and airy, with expansive views and abundant natural light. A second full bathroom completes this space. Downstairs, a generous bonus space creates options for a studio, gym, or home office. And don't miss the super cool crafts room! The gardens are a true highlight—mature landscaping with beautiful trees and seasonal plantings, thoughtfully designed for both dining and lounging. The house is all-electric and has a Tesla solar roof, Tesla Powerwall, a heat pump system, and other eco-friendly upgrades. The detached garage offers tons of potential (an ADU, perhaps?). Located in North Berkeley, with convenient access to both Solano Avenue and the shops and restaurants of North Berkeley.

Buyer's review

Above and beyond!

We are new to the East Bay and were referred to Liz by a friend of a friend. What a lucky break! We had only a few months to figure out the right neighborhood for us and find a house there to meet our needs-- a very tall order-- and it's largely thanks to Liz that we were able to pull it off. We saw more than 40 homes with her at a breakneck pace, and she was an incredible guide to the process and the quirks of the local market. Again and again, Liz went above and beyond for us, always operating with patience, grace, and flexibility. We landed an absolutely beautiful home in an ideal neighborhood for us, and we didn't even have to break our budget. We are so grateful for Liz's professionalism, friendly demeanor, and expert guidance through this challenging process. We loved working with her.
