Talbot Avenue sits in Berkeleys Westbrae neighborhood, where the streets are flat, the lots are deep, and neighbors still stop to talk on the sidewalk. For nearly ten years, this 1937 split-level has been home to the same family, a place where children took their first steps, friends gathered for dinner, and everyday routines became lasting memories.

Hardwood floors have been refinished, walls repaired and replastered, the interior freshly painted, and new light fixtures installed throughout. The eat-in kitchen pairs vintage charm with practical updates, including a classic Wedgewood stove, new quartz countertops, faucet, garbage disposal, satin nickel hardware, and engineered hardwood flooring.

Two bedrooms and an attached one-car garage complete the 851-square-foot main house. A detached office
