Tucked away on a cul-de-sac in the beautiful Berkeley Hills, this spacious 2201sqft mid-century modern dream home offers vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, and bay views. Designed in the late 1960s with open interior spaces, redwood framed windows, and inviting angles, this home is a work of architectural artistry. An abundance of custom cabinetry includes a sliding pantry wall in the kitchen, storage benches around the fireplace, and a series of drawers beneath the living room seating area. Tap a wall at the left entry and doors open to reveal a hidden coat closet. Well conceived for entertaining, the kitchen/family room combo opens to an inviting deck for al-fresco dining. Enjoy more formal gatherings in the elegant dining room, which offers an 18ft ceiling with large views to the back yard, as well as a pass-through window to the kitchen. Upstairs, the family room beckons with its 14ft ceilings, classy late 60s vibe, and bay vistas. A second deck off the back invites cozy conversation, and provides easy upstairs access to the backyard. Two of the four bedrooms are on this floor with high ceilings, including the primary, offering treehouse-like views of the garden. Additional highlights include a full bath on each floor, a new stainless steel refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, a laundry room/pantry, and new interior paint. On the ground level, a workshop with double doors to the yard, a garage with interior access, a full storage room, a breezeway behind the garage, a wine making area, and a concrete cave that may serve as a wine cellar, provide additional space. The reroof of Class A shingles was completed in 2017. Excellent foundation per the All Seasons Construction inspection. A seismic shut-off valve has been installed. The undergrounding of power lines is nearly complete. A new sewer lateral will be completed before close of escrow. Situated on a large lot (12,474 sqft/ almost .29 acres) with an abundance of potential; mature trees, include a hazelnut and pear. Only 9 min to the Gourmet Ghetto, 5 min to UC Berkeley and 3 min to the Tilden Park Golf Course. BESO home energy score of 4.

Neighborhood
Perched above the city and offering the best panoramic views in the entire Bay Area, North Berkeley Hills is 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 patio decks, manicured lawns and lushly landscaped gardens.
Depending on where you live, North Berkeley Hills residents can enjoy views of the 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. Park amenities vary between free and paid activities. 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, or enjoy a round of golf at Tilden Park Golf Course.
Some residents in the southern part of North Berkeley Hills are within walking distance of the thriving retail district on Solano Avenue. Featuring a wide variety of stores, shops, and plenty of great restaurants, including:
Safeway Community Markets: Located at the southwest corner of Solano and Fresno Avenues, this is a great place to check off everything on your grocery list.
Noor & Sons Rug Gallery: Find handcrafted Oriental Rugs for your home, as well as rug cleaning and repair services.
Peet’s Coffee: It all started in Berkeley, and this location is ideal for your morning cup of coffee before you begin your commute.
Additionally, foodies who love a variety of cuisines are just a short walk or drive away from the infamous Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood.
Despite its elevated location, North Berkeley Hills is extremely transit-friendly. The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District bus lines that serve the neighborhood drop residents at the Downtown Berkeley BART station for a quick commute to downtown San Francisco. Berkeley Hills residents who live near the western section of the neighborhood are less than one mile away from the heart of UC Berkeley, making it a great area for faculty and administrators to live.
