Beautifully remodeled Brown Shingle craftsman situated on a huge double-sized lot. Originally located in West Berkeley as part of the Pfister Knitting Mills site, as their family home and moved to Derby St. in the 1920's. Built as a single-family home, 1233 Derby enjoys the benefit of "Golden Duplex" status for an owner occupant. Significant improvements have been made over the last 21 years by the current owners including partial foundation replacement, roof, seismic retrofit, kitchen and bathroom remodels, deck additions, accessory studio structures and a truly stunning landscaping design that creates a garden world of abundant delights. Features of this magnificent home include: a wide covered front porch, vaulted light filled kitchen with custom cabinetry, dual farm sinks and vintage styled appliances. Double French doors out to a side porch. In the back, a Garden entrance winds to the stylishly appointed back one bedroom unit. This back unit was originally part of the front home and could be re-connected thru the front hallway closet. Hiding in the corner of the estate lies an adorable garden studio suitable for many uses including guest house with detached outdoor shower and washroom. Truly a magical home in turn-key condition ready for its next lucky owner.
