Be sure to check out the adjacent vacant lot. The present owners are
offering first right of refusal to the subsequent buyers of this home!
Your escape to the serene Berkeley Hills awaits! Originally constructed circa 1949 and enlarged soon thereafter, this Mid-Century beauty offers up 5 bedrooms (or 4 plus a Family Room) on 2 levels to provide the perfect separations of space. The capacious living/dining room is outfitted with views of the South Bay, built-in bookshelves and window seats, and access to the dining deck. New countertops and backsplashes as well as new stainless steel appliances bring the kitchen up to modern standards. The upstairs bathroom's custom tile shower surround lends an air of spa-like luxury. On this floor, one bedroom overlooks the verdant front patio while the second has a door leading out to the sun-drenched rear deck. Downstairs, the largest room, which once functioned as the home's primary bedroom with double the closet space is currently furnished as a Family Room ready for movie watching or game night. The smaller bedroom works beautifully as a home office or nursery (and was once a potting studio including a potter's kiln!), while the fifth bedroom space overlooks the rear garden. Perhaps the piece de resistance is the separate vacant lot next door for which the new homeowners will have first right of refusal. How could one resist?

Neighborhood
Perched above the city and offering many of the best views in the entire Bay Area, the Berkeley Hills are an incredibly peaceful residential neighborhood, yet not far from the hustle and bustle of the city’s more urban areas. Homes in the neighborhood are built in a variety of styles and feature spacious patios and decks and lushly landscaped gardens.
Depending on where you live, Berkeley Hills residents can enjoy views of the Bay, San Francisco and Oakland skylines, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and Mount Tamalpais. For even more great views plus a variety of great outdoor activities, residents can take a short trip to nearby Tilden Regional Park. In fact, one of Tilden's trail heads is just steps from 1427 Summit Road! Free activities available at Tilden Park include a beautiful botanical garden, the Little Farm, and nearly 40 miles of scenic hiking trails. For a small fee, the public can also swim at Lake Anza, take a spin on the Merry-Go-Round, ride the steam train, or enjoy a round of golf at Tilden Park Golf Course.
Residents of the Berkeley Hills are just minutes from the thriving dining and retail districts of Downtown Berkeley, North Shattuck Avenue, and Solano Avenue featuring a wide variety of stores, shops, and plenty of great restaurants, including:
Andronico's Community Markets: Located at 1550 Shattuck Avenue and 1850 Solano Avenue, this is a great place to check off everything on your grocery list.
Peet’s Coffee: It all started in Berkeley, and the original location at Walnut and Vine is ideal for your morning cup of coffee before you begin your commute.
Additionally, foodies have easy access to world famous Chez Panisse, ever-popular Via Corso, the Cheese Board, and countless eateries featuring cuisines from literally around the world!
Despite its elevated location, the Berkeley Hills are extremely transit-friendly. The AC Transit District bus lines that serve the neighborhood drop residents at Cal, North Berkeley BART, and the Downtown Berkeley BART station for a quick commute to downtown Oakland and San Francisco. Last but certainly not least, Berkeley Hills residents are a short distance from the heart of the tree-studded UC Berkeley campus, making it a great area for faculty and staff to live.
