2635 Mathews St

Small but mighty—and truly exceptional—this beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home proves that thoughtful design, extraordinary craftsmanship, and everyday function can live brilliantly under one roof. Set in the coveted San Pablo Park neighborhood, Berkeley Bowl West, neighborhood cafés, shops, and commuter routes, this is a rare opportunity to own a genuinely special home that seldom comes to market. At its heart is a chef’s kitchen designed for people who truly love to cook, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, quartzite countertops, custom-painted cabinetry and substantial Rejuvenation solid-brass hardware. Thoughtful features throughout the home, giving every room a sense of warmth, character, and cohesion. The craftsmanship is unforgettable: rich woodwork, exposed beams, custom built-ins, and a gorgeous bookcase tucked into the upstairs hall. The upper-level bedrooms feel charming and intimate, with recessed lighting, architectural details, and built-ins that make the most of every inch. Clever and practical details make the home as functional as it is beautiful. Even the lower staircase woodwork was thoughtfully designed to be removable, allowing larger furniture to move easily upstairs. Warm, soulful, sophisticated, and wonderfully efficient, this is not simply a smaller home—it is a remarkably complete one. Come see just how mighty it is. Bonus: Detached Garage with Tesla Charger.
