An Enchanting 1920s French Norman Cottage in the Berkeley Hills

Step inside the enchanting world of Brodie Jenkins, musician and interior designer, in her fairytale cottage in the rolling hills of Berkeley, California.

When the pandemic put her music career on pause, Brodie channeled her creativity into restoring this 1920s French Norman home—carefully preserving its historic charm while crafting a sanctuary for her family. Every corner of the house tells a story: from a treasured piano inherited from her grandmother, to literary-inspired details that reflect her lifelong love of books.

Through a seamless blend of music, design, and whimsy, Brodie has turned her home into a modern storybook—where elegance meets warmth, and history meets imagination.
