The house is an example of the Oakland/Berkeley bungalow style so prevalent of the area of north Oakland and south Berkeley.  It was built in 1922.  

I purchased the house in 1986 and made the following changes that have upgraded its appearance:

  • new roof
  • driveway
  • gates and fences on the left
  • privacy screen on the right
  • removed dying Monterey pine in front and replace with liquid amber
