Much-Loved Berkeley Home With Dramatic Views
Located near the Claremont Resort and easy access to yjr University of California at Berkeley, you are invited to come see this home for the stunning views -- and stay for the lifestyle! 1426 Grand View Drive features multi-purpose living spaces with dramatic three (3!) bridge views. This home features multi-flexible curated living spaces and for entertaining, working, creating, and cooking!. Step inside the front door and experience the unfolding visual drama of bay views and stunning sunsets. Voluminous high ceilings and large view-centric windows showcase the San Francisco skyline, the calming waters of the bay. Natural light streams into the rooms all day long while hardwood floors throughout the home enhance the warmth within.
Testament to the exquisite details and finest craftsmanship, the kitchen remodel for two serious chefs is designed to entertain many, or create an intimate dinner for two. Features highlight high-end Thermador appliance,s including the 36” Pro-Grand 6-burner stove, rotisserie and convection ovens, and the Sub-Zero 36” fridge. The Luce di Luna quartzite countertops grace the oversized kitchen island, while the Foscarini Caboche suspension chandelier lights up the breakfast room. Built for entertaining and outdoor dining, the terraced backyard patio area has bay views from through the kitchen window to the waters of the bay. The wine room is close by.
The primary suite features a private sitting area anchored by the fireplace, and a private balcony for watching sunsets over the bay. The ample customized two-person closet is a separate room. The luxe spa-like bath feels as if floating amongst the clouds -- the Victoria & Albert “Amalfi” slipper tub takes center stage, the Graciano suspension “Bubble” chandelier provides the whimsy and the Christiana Cabinetry custom armoire provides the elegant sparkle. Custom sheer drapery on the wall of windows frames the San Francisco skyline and the bay.
Currently used as a home gym (with its own spacious balcony area), the view-facing bedroom is separated by a full bath from the adjacent bedroom. Functioning as a separate wing of the home, an additional large bedroom with its own ensuite, family room, and spacious private veranda, is ideal for multi-use possibilities: a separate living space for returning graduates? for extended family visiting on long vacations? or ADU possibilities.
Enter through the French doors, there is a media room off the main floor living room re-imagined as an additional (second) primary suite with its own remodeled ensuite. This "second primary" also has its own private expansive outdoor patio area and features separate street access. Also not included in the bedroom count is the home office with its own amazing views conveniently separated from the main living area. (Imagine - only a 30-second commute to work!) A large storage space (fondly called “the Costco room”) is located next to the entrance to the 2-car garage with the EV charger..
Location: By those who live here, this neighborhood is a much-loved walking and hiking area by outdoor enthusiasts. Just minutes to Bentley School Hiller, or BART for easy SF commute, nearby access to 580/880 freeways to San Francisco, Marin or Walnut Creek.
