1735 Tenth Street is a rare and eclectic Berkeley compound offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, income potential, creative work-live use, or a boutique retreat setting. Originally built circa 1911 as the Domestic French Laundry, the over 5,000-square-foot property has evolved over generations into a one-of-a-kind creative enclave recognized by the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association in Eccentric Houses. Tucked behind wooden gates, the serene garden setting features lush landscaping, a fountain and pond, secluded sitting areas, and an expansive upper deck ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat. The property is currently configured as three distinct living spaces with workshops and studios that can be combined or reimagined to suit a variety of lifestyles. The main residence offers dramatic 12-foot ceilings, flexible loft-style living, multiple bedrooms and baths, kitchen and dining areas, sauna, guest quarters, and expansive artist workshops once used for clay and woodworking studios. A separate front studio apartment includes a modern kitchen, full bath, sleeping loft, and woodstove, while the upper apartment features three bedrooms, a full bath, dine-in kitchen, living room, separate entrance, and abundant attic storage. Ideally located near Fourth Street, San Pablo Avenue, the Gilman District, and James Kenney Park, this extraordinary property blends history, creativity, and versatility in one of Berkeley's most vibrant neighborhoods.
