Charming. Convenient. Completely Berkeley.
Welcome to this enchanting Berkeley Hills retreat, where classic charm meets modern updates and an unbeatable location. Nestled on a scenic hillside, 927 Santa Barbara Road offers the best of both worlds—peaceful views and proximity to two of Berkeley’s most vibrant neighborhoods: Solano Avenue and the Gourmet Ghetto.
Follow the stone pathway to the front door while enjoying the beautifully landscaped front garden. Step inside this updated 2+ bedroom, 1 bathroom home and be greeted by a storybook style that radiates warmth and character. The inviting living room flows seamlessly from the open-concept kitchen and is anchored by a cozy fireplace—perfect for cool evenings. From here, you’ll catch captivating views of the Bay Bridge and city skyline, a daily delight the seller cherished each morning over a cup of coffee.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, designed with stone countertops, a generous peninsula ideal for cooking, casual dining, and entertaining. It opens beautifully to a large formal dining room, perfect for gatherings big and small. Just off the kitchen is a dedicated laundry room—adding function to the home’s charm.
The spacious bedrooms offer versatility, both facing the gardens. One with sliding doors perfect for an indoor-outdoor flow. The other with a wonderful bonus room just off of it, allowing possibilities for an office, den or work-out room– all opening to the garden.
You’ll find thoughtful details throughout, from a classic Dutch door to sweet built-in nooks. The home is surrounded by nature, landscaped gardens that create a sense of privacy, peace, and provide multiple outdoor spaces to entertain, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Hills.
Every time we visit, we find something else to fall in love with.
And when you’re ready to head out, you’re just moments from:

Why north berkeley?
Tucked in the heart of Berkeley, North Berkeley blends academic energy, natural beauty, and small-town charm. Just north of Downtown and west of the UC Berkeley campus, this neighborhood offers a coveted mix of tranquility and vibrancy—making it a favorite not only among students but also long-time residents, artists, and food lovers.
🌿 Nature, Parks & Outdoor Life
North Berkeley is spoiled with green spaces. In just minutes, you’ll find the stunning Berkeley Rose Garden, a terraced amphitheater blooming with thousands of roses and panoramic views of the Bay, including the Golden Gate Bridge. Just across the street is Codornices Park, where you can race down a concrete slide with a piece of cardboard and follow the creek trail under old stone bridges.
A short drive (or invigorating bike ride) up the hill leads to Tilden Regional Park, a sprawling oasis of hiking trails, the beloved Little Farm (bring celery to feed the goats!), Lake Anza, a summer swimming hotspot, and even a vintage carousel.
🍽️ Foodie Heaven
North Berkeley is internationally known for its culinary legacy. It’s the birthplace of California cuisine, thanks to Alice Waters’ legendary Chez Panisse on Shattuck Avenue—just a short stroll from Santa Barbara Road. Alongside it in the famed Gourmet Ghetto, you’ll find local favorites like:
🛍️ Shops, Cafes & Community Life
Solano Avenue is just a short walk away, full of neighborhood boutiques, indie bookstores, Vanessa’s Bistro for Vietnamese fusion, and even the Oaks Climbing Gym if you're up for a bouldering challenge. Northbrae Bottle Shopoffers curated wines, and Monterey Market is a produce lover’s paradise with a cult following.
On Thursdays, stop by the North Berkeley Farmers’ Market for organic veggies, fresh bread, and local cheese. And don’t miss the community charm at Live Oak Park, where festivals and open-air Shakespeare performances light up summer nights.
🚆 Getting Around
With BART just blocks away and AC Transit routes crisscrossing the neighborhood, North Berkeley makes commuting a breeze. Whether you're headed to campus, downtown Oakland, or San Francisco, this location is hard to beat.
