Just a block south of Gilman in vibrant West Berkeley, this unique Victorian building has 3,382 sq. ft., per appraiser. Its most prominent feature is a light-filled, north-facing, studio with a bit over 1,300 sq. ft., approximately 14' ceilings and roll-up door leading to a private, gated, driveway ideal for work and storage. The upper level of the original house has what were two bedrooms, with plus rooms including a kitchen, great room, large sunroom, several offices, two baths and an attic. Stairs lead to a flat roof for sun-worshipping and star-gazing. The downstairs has copious amounts of storage and a second studio space. There has been some seismic retrofitting, the masonry is steel reinforced, and the building has a new roof. The building is close to 4th and 10th street shops, but more importantly, Picante. And it's also close to the freeway. Zoned Multi Use Light Industrial.

903 Camelia belongs to me and my former husband, Dennis Hendrickson. We bought after seeing it on broker's tour one dim winter day about 11 years ago and we are hoping to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it as much as we have. I can remember the first moment that I saw the studio. It was filled with kinetic sculptor Sid Gordon's 40 year collection of everything. I was awestruck by the space and by what he had accumulated. And I had to have the building. But being a good Realtor I called my artist client and offered it to him first and then suffered for a day while he decided not to buy it. It was there that our son Jonah Hendrickson launched his sculpture career which will always make it a very special place for our family. We know that another artist, dancer, musician, or business person will find it an exciting place to hang the tools of their trade, and we welcome them. It is to that person, who walks in and says" Yes, this is it! This is what I have been looking for! I have to have this space!" that we would like to sell this building.
The building is listed with Laurie Capitelli.
