Property Description

A hidden gem in the Berkeley hills, this beautifully maintained Bay Area contemporary shingle-style residence captures the essence of classic architecture, timeless charm, and truly extraordinary views. Framed by a handsome brown shingle exterior and rich in period character, the home offers breathtaking unobstructed panoramas of the San Francisco Bay, San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge, and beyond. Inside, warm hardwood floors, vintage details, and inviting living spaces reflect the craftsmanship of 1941 pre-war era when only the best materials were used. With thoughtful updates over the years the home provides comfort and functionality for modern day living. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, creating a rare opportunity to own a home that has been lovingly cared for and enhanced by the homeowner of 39 years. Don’t miss the spacious studio with half bath and walls of windows looking out to spectacular views of the Bay. This space is ideal for live-work, art room, guest quarters and a possible ADU conversion as there is likely space for adding a full bath and potentially a kitchenette. The enchanting garden setting offers privacy and tranquility, with outdoor spaces designed to enjoy the spectacular vistas, fresh air, and natural beauty that surround the property. Ideally located just minutes from vibrant neighborhood shops, gourmet markets, beloved Berkeley restaurants, cafés, and everyday conveniences, this special property combines peaceful hillside living with easy access to the very best of Berkeley. A rare offering where character, views, and location come together in one unforgettable home. Open 5/17.
