Talbot Avenue sits in Berkeley’s Westbrae neighborhood, where the streets are flat, the lots are deep, and neighbors still stop to talk on the sidewalk. For nearly ten years, this 1937 split-level has been home to the same family, a place where children took their first steps, friends gathered for dinner, and everyday routines became lasting memories. Set back behind a landscaped front garden, the home feels private and welcoming. Inside, original character is complemented by substantial improvements. Hardwood floors have been refinished, walls repaired and replastered, the interior freshly painted, and new light fixtures installed throughout. The eat-in kitchen pairs vintage charm with practical updates, including a classic Wedgewood stove, new quartz countertops, faucet, garbage disposal, satin nickel hardware, and engineered hardwood flooring. Cabinetry and shelving were reconfigured in 2021, and appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and updated refrigerator. A separate laundry room features new flooring over a rebuilt subfloor and an LG washer and dryer. The bathroom has been refreshed with a new vanity, faucet, mirror, lighting, and exhaust fan. Two bedrooms and an attached one-car garage complete the 851-square-foot main house. A detached office and studio at the rear of the property adds flexible usable space. Built out in 2021 with new windows, doors, and a skylight, it offers a dedicated setting for work, art, exercise, or retreat. Some of the home's most significant improvements are behind the walls. In 2026, the original knob-and-tube wiring was fully decommissioned and replaced. A new electric heat pump provides heating and air conditioning, while new attic insulation improves thermal performance. A new water heater was installed in 2023. Outside, the home has been freshly painted and fitted with new gutters. The generous, fully fenced backyard was regraded with new stonework, landscaping has been refreshed front and back, and fencing has been replaced along the rear and south property lines. The sellers have invested more than $130,000 in the property during their ownership, including approximately $90,000 in 2026. The result preserves the home's 1937 character while thoughtfully addressing its systems, surfaces, comfort, and efficiency. Home Energy Score of 8. BESO compliance pending.

Set into the North Berkeley hills, 141 Fairlawn is one of the earliest known works of architect Andrew Batey. It was designed and built in the early 1970s, years before the Napa Valley houses and Getty Center recognition that would define Batey's career. It was commissioned by Henry Bowles, an architectural photographer who trained under Morley Baer and shot for Condé Nast, and it shows in a studied style that prized "purity, simplicity, and austerity of form" — for someone who looked at buildings for a living. More than fifty years on, it still feels ahead of its time. Step inside and the house does the thing Batey built it to do — it brings the outside in. A two-story wall of glass on an exposed frame pulls the canopy straight into the living space, and the main volume rises double-height beneath open beams, an open-tread stair climbing to the mezzanine. There is very little between you and the outdoors, and the room changes hour by hour as light and leaf-shadow move across it. Sliding doors carry the space outward: one opens onto the entry walk, a step from an expansive deck set among mature native oaks. A floor above, a second slider opens on the same wall, looking down over the quiet sitting area by the entrance. Batey worked the sloping site rather than fighting it, and the plan unfolds in levels — an updated kitchen with quartz counters and custom tile and a light-filled main floor. The main level holds a private bedroom that opens directly to a full bath — a primary suite, with a second door as its own private entrance — along with a flexible den in the far corner. Upstairs, a 400+ square foot master suite where the bedroom opens to the black-tile bath Batey returned to design in the late 1980s, lit from two skylights overhead. Beside the single-car garage sits a separate studio of roughly 300 square feet with its own sink and full bath, built as Bowles's darkroom, later given a skylight of its own — a palette for the imagination: studio, office, guest space, retreat. Redwood construction, a low-maintenance Trex deck, replacement windows on the lower level, central heat, EV charging, and a roughly 220-square-foot detached garage ground the architecture in easy livability. Home Energy Score: 5. Across the decades the house has kept its clarity: simplicity, open living, an unbroken connection to the landscape, and a quiet intelligence in every room. It is a rare thing — an architect's early vision, preserved, and exactly the way we want to live today
