Perched on a winding street in the coveted La Loma Park Historic District of the Berkeley Hills, this circa-1925 Arts and Crafts residence at 1514 La Loma Avenue — designed by architect John Knox Ballantine Jr. & historically known as the Weeks House — offers a rare chance to own a piece of Berkeley's architectural legacy, fully reimagined for modern life. From the moment you step inside, sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Mount Tamalpais, and the city skyline unfold across the rear of the home. Large original picture windows frame the vistas, filling the main living spaces with light and connection to the outdoors. A comprehensive renovation preserved the home's soul while quietly modernizing every system. The original shingle siding was replicated in fire-resistant materials that retain the historic look while meeting today's wildfire-hardening standards. Inside, inlaid hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, and the dining room's original millwork remain intact, alongside a kitchen that keeps its Arts and Crafts proportions but gains updated appliances, cabinetry & fixtures. A new built-in pantry, adjoining mudroom, and shelf-lined library add functionality rarely found in a century-old home. The living room opens through original double doors to an expansive deck built for both everyday living and entertaining, with distinct zones for dining and lounging against a backdrop of Bay views. Upstairs, four bedrooms continue the home's dialogue with its setting — three facing the Bay, one overlooking the wooded hillside. The primary suite was reconfigured into a larger retreat with a fully updated bathroom and new walk-in closet. A rare architectural feature, the home's original turret, has been transformed into an enclosed sunroom offering views in multiple directions — a singular space unlike anything else on the market. La Loma Park is one of the East Bay's most tightly held enclaves, shaped by architects including Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, and Arthur Weeks, and known for extraordinarily low turnover — longtime residents of decades still consider themselves newcomers. The location is unbeatable: walkable to UC Berkeley, the Berkeley Rose Garden, Codornices Park, and the shops & restaurants of North Berkeley. This is a rare offering — a fully restored, architecturally significant Berkeley Hills home with panoramic Bay views, modern systems, and a legacy setting that rarely comes available.
