Nestled in the woodsy Berkeley Hills, this 1920s-era storybook home has been in the same family for half a century. The home was built in 1927 by Joseph M. Walker with the original intent, in keeping with storybook architecture, to be magical. Though there is no single definition of storybook design the main factor may be a sense of playfulness and whimsy, according to Storybookers.com.
At
33 Forest Lane, we see these features immediately in the facade. The roof features wavy lines there s the distinctive brick chimney. Inside, pitched beamed ceilings, a grand fireplace, and clever built-ins keep the vintage feel alive. Of course, in the near hundred years since it was built, the home has been updated as well, most notably in the kitchen and bathrooms.
