About This Home
A cherished Berkeley Hills home, held by one family for more than 50 years, has been thoughtfully reimagined through a comprehensive, foundation-up renovation. Set on a rare, nearly level lot just a short walk from Codornices Park, this classic Craftsman balances enduring character with beautifully considered modern details and offers a memorable view of the Bay from the upper landing.
The renovation was extensive: a new foundation, 40-year-rated roof, Marvin windows, new electrical and plumbing, and fully refreshed landscaping with new irrigation. At the front porch, a long vintage church pew, gifted by the previous owners, offers a charming place to gather with friends & neighbors and enjoy the front garden.
Inside, Craftsman-inspired details bring warmth and texture throughout the main level, including original stained-glass windows, built-in entry benches, white oak hardwood floors, custom shelving surrounding the gas fireplace, and a jewel-box powder room with distinctive wallpaper. The open living spaces flow naturally into a bright, generous dining room, while a perfectly sized home office offers a quiet place to work nearby.
The fully remodeled chef’s kitchen is both refined and highly functional, with custom white oak cabinetry, counter to ceiling tile, pantry, counter seating, stainless-steel appliances, speed oven, beverage refrigerator and bar and a beautifully burnished plaster range hood. An awning window behind the sink opens directly to an exterior countertop bar, creating an effortless connection to the deck and making outdoor entertaining especially easy.
The deck, with built-in bench seating, overlooks a broad, level lawn framed by privacy hedging and a Japanese maple. Just off the kitchen, a cozy TV snug keeps everyone connected to the heart of the home, ideal for game days, movie nights, or slow weekend mornings.
Upstairs, the landing incorporates a full laundry area and a lovely Bay view. Two well-proportioned bedrooms share a full bath with a custom oak vanity and bathtub. The spacious primary suite feels like a true retreat, with dual closets, a vaulted sitting area, and a beautifully finished bath featuring a custom oak double vanity and an oversized shower with built-in bench.
Off-street parking and a long garage provide room for a car while still leaving space for bikes, a workshop, or home gym. Generous attic and basement storage complete a home that is as practical as it is beautiful, an exceptionally thoughtful renovation of a longtime Berkeley favorite.

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.
