Welcome to 491 Boynton Avenue, an exceptional Tudor Revival residence nestled in the coveted Berkeley Hills. Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully updated for modern living, this distinguished home blends timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated contemporary finishes. Offering nearly 2,000 square feet, the home features 4 spacious bedrooms, including a top-floor primary suite and two beautifully renovated bathrooms. Refinished hardwood floors, designer-selected paint, curated lighting, and refined finishes create a warm and elegant atmosphere throughout. The dramatic living room showcases soaring cathedral ceilings, magnificent bay windows, and a stunning original fireplace. A formal dining room surrounded by windows offers an inviting setting for entertaining, while the updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast nook. Outside, English-inspired gardens, lush landscaping, and a peaceful deck create a serene retreat for dining, entertaining, or unwinding. Thoughtful updates include a comprehensive electrical upgrade with removal of knob-and-tube wiring and a new code-compliant system. An attached garage with interior access adds convenience, while two lower-level spaces offer flexibility for a gym, wine cellar, studio, workshop, office, or creative retreat. Ideally situated in one of Berkeley's most sought-after neighborhoods, 491 Boynton Avenue offers classic Tudor architecture, modern updates, and beautifully landscaped gardens in perfect harmony.
