Victorian home for sale in California has unexpected feature. See its treehouse

A breathtakingly restored Victorian home that’s over a century old has landed on the real estate market in Berkeley, California.

And it comes with some modern — and surprising — updates.

“A feast for the senses!” the listing on Kai Real Estate says.

“This beautifully restored Victorian home features a 4-color exterior and many artful touches including metal sculptures, stained glass window, custom cabinetry, beautifully crafted balcony railings, stunning chestnut floors harvested from a Healdsburg family farm, high ceilings, skylights, an oasis of a yoga/dance studio, bamboo fencing, a cedar hot tub, meandering garden paths and a whimsical treehouse.”

The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is listed for $1.495 million and is surrounded by lush greenery, with its exterior almost blending into nature’s bliss.

Inside, it’s a world of sublime calmness with a primary home with a ground-level bedroom. Hardwood floors offset the iridescent stained windows seen throughout the 124-year-old home.

Both the yoga studio and treehouse feature a childlike charm that’s not often seen.

Other features, per the listing and photos, include:

  • Spacious decks

  • Covered storage

  • Shed

  • Hot tub

  • Porch

  • Bamboo fencing

  • Garden

  • Fruit trees

“The home and grounds were reimagined by former homeowner Nuria Bowart—a dancer and artist—between 2002 and 2020,” a news release about the home says.

“The property was meant to be a place to raise a family within a true sense of community. She also commissioned a custom wrought-iron archway by renowned Burning Man artist Bryan Tedrick, and partnered with a neighbor to transform their lawn into a shared garden and apiary.”

The listing is held by Jodi Nishimura.
