Description

The Cannon Residence was originally constructed in 1895 by George P. Jensen, the property was initially known as the Petersen House. It was built for Theodore C. W. Petersen, a local artist recognized for his interior friezes inside California Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. In the early 1900s, painter Jennie Canon acquired the home, utilizing it as an at-home art gallery. To survive the economic hardships of the Great Depression, Canon subdivided the expansive residence into a fourplex.The property operates as a unique real estate asset combining rich architectural history with modern functional updates. The remodeled owner’s unit is simply stunning, blending an artful aesthetic with sophisticated design. An exceptional primary suite anchors the space, while expansive openings lead to a beautifully terraced garden featuring tranquil fountains and a spacious patio. All units have been thoughtfully updated and enjoy serene garden views. Near UC Berkeley. Must see!
