2413 Browning St
Berkeley, CA 94702

Big, bold, artful, and completely unexpected, 2413 Browning Street brings an eclectic modern design, a wildly expansive amount of space, and a backyard that dreams are made of to the heart of Berkeley’s Poet’s Corner. Part SoHo loft, part artist enclave, part fabulous entertaining house, it has scale and flexibility rarely found, and a personality entirely its own. With 5 BR, 3 BA, finished attic, party room, sunrooms, 3367sf of living space on a 6000sf lot, this is a house that invites you to live a little bigger. The main living space is large, open, airy, and graciously spills out to the enormous grassy backyard. Distinct living, dining, and kitchen spaces are defined, yet seamlessly connected. The open wood and steel beam ceilings give it that SoHo vibe, and crisp white walls are boldly accented, taking your eye around the great room. The kitchen is anchored with warm cabinetry and an expansive island, while the fireplace creates an inviting space to lounge. Food happens everywhere; dinner parties at the table, breakfast at the island, and a big neighborhood BBQ out back. This is the house everyone gathers, kids live in their own universe, and art inspires itself. The second level creates an easy everyday rhythm with 3BR, 2BA all on one level. And a spacious “party room” with a kitchenette opens up an entirely different layer of possibility: family room, guest quarters, studio, media room, junior ADU potential, or whatever wonderfully unconventional idea comes next. The primary en suite is graciously modern and fresh with large closets, a sunroom, and gorgeous new bathroom. Just when you think there couldn’t be anymore surprises, upstairs is a converted attic with spirited animal print carpet, white oak slatted railings, and tons of storage, making it feel like its own little world. Generous rooms, unexpected volumes, and something new and delightful around every corner give the house an energy that feels polished and sophisticated, yet comfortable and cozy all the same. Poet’s Corner is a much beloved, flat, accessible neighborhood with warmth, character, and community. Near North Berkeley BART, 80, Strawberry Creek Park, cafes, and shops. Solar panels, HES 10.
