About This Home
Magical City Gardens!
This gated home is surrounded by a quarter-acre of magical "city" gardens, including a charming waterfall. Inside these gardens, the house showcases the beautiful interplay of light, color, and texture through multiple windows, skylights, and solar tubes in every room, making the interior feel bright and airy-perfect for buyers looking for a welcoming space. This property is an A+ indoor-outdoor experience! The warm interiors feature newly refinished wood floors, a fabulous, vaulted living room ceiling, and a tall primary bedroom ceiling, all supporting the motif of unexpected angles and bright light.
The house is nearly "level in," with a small staircase that separates the main floor into two areas. The first area is the wonderful kitchen: a real cook's kitchen with a nook and a breakfast bar. Paired with the adjacent dining room, this kitchen makes entertaining easy and convenient, emphasizing the functional, versatile layout. The living room is anchored by a handsome fireplace flanked by two sets of French doors that lead to a marvelous brick patio. This area includes a ful bathroom and a small bedroom (or study).
As you climb a few stairs, the second area comes into view. There are two generous bedrooms plus a primary suite. The north-facing bedroom has an attic loft for storage, and the south-facing bedroom looks over an attractive lawn and seating area. Finally, the primary bedroom is carefully planned to accommodate a walk-in closet, a dressing area, an entertainment tower with a gas insert, and a spa-like bathroom. The primary bedroom enjoys access to the rear deck with views of the waterfall.
The garage was converted into a studio space a few years ago. The garage has a small storage area, and the owners use the basement/crawl space for storage.
929 Contra Costa is less than one block from the Solano Avenue shopping corridor. AC Transit provides easy access to UC Berkeley, Oakland, BART, and San Francisco.

Berkeley Neighborhoods!
After the 1906 Earthquake, the iconic real estate company Mason McDuffie pioneered innovative street designs that embraced Berkeley's natural curves. This approach fostered a sense of progress and pride in Berkeley's unique development, moving away from traditional grid patterns. In the Thousand Oaks neighborhood, this natural design was complemented by rock outcroppings left in place as permanent features alongside houses and parks. 929 Contra Costa Avenue features two of these remarkable outcroppings. Indian Rock, the largest rhyolite outcropping in Berkeley, still inspires climbers over a century later.
Have you ever wondered why Marin Avenue is so steep? Originally planned as a cable car line, Marin Avenue's challenging incline reflects its historical transportation ambitions. Additionally, the streets off Marin Avenue are named after California counties, highlighting Berkeley's brief bid to become the state capital-an effort influenced by the strategic location near Gold Country, which was considered more advantageous for Sacramento's selection.
