A Neighborhood Eyesore Becomes a Modern Farmhouse in Berkeley

Modern Farmhouse Berkeley BEFORE makeover

If you had driven past this house, would you have thought it had the potential to become a modern Napa-style farmhouse? I wouldn’t have. Fortunately, there are people in the world who have more vision than I do! The newly remodeled home is now on the market in Berkeley, California, for $1.649 million. Keep scrolling to see how it looks today!

The newly remodeled home has 3 bedrooms + 3 baths.

The Lederer Team at Red Oak Realty renovated the house.

“The project began as a simple build of a traditional home, but we thought it would be unique for the neighborhood and the city in general to have this type of Napa-style vacation home in the heart of Berkeley,” they explain.

The house has 1,659 square feet.

The house looks bigger than it is thanks to the 16′ high vaulted ceilings and open spaces.

“We began this styling and theme prior to the Napa fires, but after they began, we were further inspired to continue the styling throughout the home, cottage and landscaping as much as we could.”

The original house was built in 1911 and had seen better days (*understatement*):

Bonus! There’s a guest cottage with an additional bedroom + bath in the backyard:
