About This Property

Don't miss the opportunity to own a property just moments away from UC Berkeley -amazing location! Step back to the late 1800s, where much of this home remains beautifully preserved in its original, untouched condition. Known as the Morning Glory House, this historic residence predates official records, with construction traced to 1876; however, county records list it as 1915. The property was designated a City of Berkeley Landmark in 1979 under the name Joseph Clapp Cottage. The two-level home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths across 1,602 square feet of living space, along with a detached bonus office featuring French doors that open to views of the grounds. Its iconic architecture is defined by a pair of tall, stick-framed windows in the front gable, complemented by ornate detailing throughout, including high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, intricate wood moldings, and expansive windows that fill the interiors with natural light. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home features two parlors: a formal front parlor for gatherings and a more intimate rear parlor suited for quiet visits, teas, or musical performances. The original kitchen includes a classic vintage stove and an additional cozy breakfast nook. Clawfoot tubs and high-tank toilets enhance the home's old-world character. Historic features yield a Home Energy Score of [3]. For added convenience, tandem parking and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Outside, the yard unfolds into a magical urban retreat, shaded by towering eucalyptus trees. Enjoy a book or your morning coffee from the primary balcony or the rear Savannah-style porch. Ideally located in the heart of the city with a Walk Score of [99], Bike Score [94], the home offers convenient access to shopping, public transit, the Downtown Berkeley BART station, and the diverse dining scene of the renowned "Gourmet Ghetto."
