Perched high in the prestigious Berkeley Hills, this 5-bed, 4-bath masterpiece is a striking blend of elegance, strength, & modern luxury. Built in 2001 it rests on a steel-reinforced concrete foundation anchored deep into bedrock.

Designed for both grand entertaining & everyday comfort, the thoughtful layout features a versatile den, a formal dining room, & a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, premium stainless-steel appliances, & an oversized island that naturally draws people together. The lower level reveals a tranquil primary suite, complete with a private balcony, spa-inspired bath, & a generous walk-in closet. Additional highlights include gleaming hardwood floors, a two-car garage with 4 additional parking spaces, & a flexible bonus perfect for a home office, gym, or media retreat. All this, just minutes from Berkeley’s celebrated dining, shopping, & outdoor escapes. Here, hillside serenity meets city convenience—offering a truly rare opportunity to own one of the Bay Area’s most remarkable homes.
