Tucked into Berkeley's Northside neighborhood just moments from UC Berkeley, 2421 Hilgard Ave offers a rare opportunity to own a classic fourplex in one of the city's most sought-after residential pockets. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street near the Euclid corridor, the property combines a peaceful setting with close access to campus, shops, and dining. The building features four 1BD/1BA units across 2,890 sq ft, along with a 1-car garage and a large attic space that may offer future expansion potential (buyer to verify). One unit will be delivered vacant, providing an immediate opportunity for owner occupancy while maintaining income from the remaining units.

Some homes are built. Others are composed. In the early 1920s, artist-architect Paul Beygrau and his wife, Marie Rosalie Schaff, a gifted woodcarver from Alsace, arrived in Berkeley after distinguished work abroad. Trained in both fine arts and architecture, Beygrau had designed interiors for royal commissions in England and public buildings in Winnipeg. Together, they turned to a deeply personal project in the Berkeley hills, creating neighboring homes that would express their shared artistic vision. Home Energy Score of 1 At 1049 and 1051 Keith Avenue, they produced what many regard as their collaborative masterwork - a rare expression of European artistry translated into California architecture. Featured on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle in 1928, the home was described as "the most remarkable expression of domestic art and architecture in the Bay Region." At 1049 Keith, artistry is present in nearly every surface. Massive hand-carved doors, reportedly shaped by Marie herself, open to interiors rich in material and craft. Inlaid hardwood floors run throughout, while the living and dining rooms unfold with grand scale, clad in solid redwood wainscoting. Overhead, decorative ceilings reflect European fresco traditions, reimagined in sculptural plaster and painte
