And a place full of artists, individuals … and history. Such is the case with the home at 1547 Parker Street. Once one of Berkeley’s original “Purple Houses,” the house was painted completely purple as a visual protest against conformity. Not surprisingly, or so the story goes, it was one of the centers of the Berkeley civil rights movement. And the place famed civil rights activist and author, Evelyn White, called home. Today, the house is no longer purple. The activists have moved on. And the house is now an earthen taupe bedecked by Wisteria. But whether it’s its central location, its Berkeley “bones,” or whatever, the artistic spirit lives on. (In this case, with a musician and a dancer.) In keeping, Craftsman details, light and charm abound. A warm and inviting living room and dining room with fireplace. A large eat-in kitchen. Three spacious bedrooms. Two fully redone baths. A green backyard. And, of course, a garden studio for whatever artistic endeavor you choose … or political activity you wish to convene. And fittingly, it’s just a few blocks to BART, restaurants, downtown and the Berkeley Bowl. Yes, how Berkeley can you be! SPECIAL DETAILS 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths Craftsman details, hardwood floors throughout Large eat-in kitchen Green backyard with garden studio Large detached garage Close to BART, downtown
