Originally built in 1936 and once home to the founder of Peet's Coffee, this extraordinary Berkeley Hills residence has been completely reimagined through a meticulous down-to-the-studs design-build renovation by Levitch Associates. No expense was spared blending timeless architectural character with exceptional craftsmanship, modern functionality, and artistic detail — including a newly installed slab foundation as part of the extensive reconstruction. Nestled among the redwoods on a quiet cul-de-sac and set on a rare combined 16,295 sq ft — which includes the adjacent 6,000 sq ft parcel (APN 63-2988-49) — the property feels like a private forest sanctuary while remaining minutes from the very best of Berkeley. With only three steps to the entry, the home offers rare ease of access. A dramatic living room frames breathtaking Golden Gate Bridge and Bay views. The formal dining room flows into an extraordinary chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, generous pantry, Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and artisan details throughout. Custom artistic elements by local craftspeople include original stained glass, handcrafted iron stair railings, tile mosaic work, and a custom kitchen hood. The flexible floor plan offers five bedrooms, multiple office spaces, and expansive lower-level bonus areas ideal for a media room, gym, or guest quarters — with ADU potential (buyer to verify). Oversized windows throughout frame redwood and Bay views while flooding the home with natural light. Outdoor spaces were designed for both relaxation and play, with landscaped grounds, turf areas, and direct access to hidden neighborhood trails

Rarely does a Berkeley Hills property combine sweeping panoramic Bay and Park views with an expansive, level garden setting. Perched near the top of the hills on an extraordinary 8,958 sq. ft. parcel, this beautifully renovated modern farmhouse estate feels worlds away, with a relaxed East Coast elegance reminiscent of a gracious Hamptons retreat. Beyond the private gate, a sun-filled brick courtyard creates an enchanting welcome, with French doors opening from both sides for effortless indoor-outdoor living, entertaining and play. Thoughtfully updated while retaining its warmth, character and timeless appeal, it features generous windows that frame spectacular Bay vistas as well as peaceful views toward the surrounding parkland and greenery. Level-in to 4 spacious bedrooms that surround the courtyard in 2 wings, the current owners also expanded the lower level by finishing more than 600 sq. ft. of living space into a spacious lower-level family room with direct garden access and ample storage and workout space. Ideal as a media room, playroom, gym, office, guest space or creative studio, it adds tremendous flexibility to the floor plan. Oak hardwood floors, dual-pane windows, updated electrical, two newer furnaces, on-demand hot water and fresh interior and exterior paint complete the picture. With nearly a quarter-acre of mostly level land, extraordinary views, abundant outdoor space and Tilden Park trails close by, this is a truly rare Berkeley Hills retreat. Home Energy Score 4.

Nestled in the quiet Berkeley Hills with Tilden at your doorstep, this is the home that just feels right the moment you walk in. A stunning entry display of Berkeley Mills cabinetry and a sunny center courtyard set the tone — modern in spirit, with craftsmanship in every detail. Vaulted ceilings and skylights pour in natural light, while automatic shades keep the living room perfectly comfortable. The Berkeley Mills kitchen — induction range, newer appliances — flows into a breakfast room and on into the dining and living spaces. The fully retracting La Cantina door leads to a terraced patio and another sliding door opens to the inner courtyard. The family room opens directly to the grassy backyard, persimmon tree, and a greenhouse where the seller cultivated orchids. Every window frames a view of lush landscaping and trees — nature is always just outside the glass. The primary suite is a true retreat with heated floors in the bath and a partial view. The remodel left nothing untouched: new stucco, all-new windows, updated baths, laundry with sink, A/C, EV charger, and owned solar with backup battery — a perfect BESO score of 10. A covered walkway leads to the 2-car garage with workshop and ample storage. At 2,514 sq ft on a generous 8,704 sq ft lot, there's room to live, work, and exhale. This one checks every box — and then some.

Hidden behind mature hedges on a nearly 20,000-square-foot street-to-street parcel, the home reveals itself gradually. Sweeping views stretch across Tilden Park, while birdsong and remarkable quiet create a sense of peaceful seclusion. The grounds have matured over generations. A century-old giant sequoia, stately beech, and magnificent Deodar cedar anchor the property, their towering canopies creating an extraordinary sense of permanence. Below, a broad brick terrace invites long outdoor dinners and easy entertaining, overlooking the lawn where generations of neighborhood children have played on the beloved wide turf slide while parents gathered on the patio above. The architecture is timeless and enjoying a well-deserved revival. Open the front door and the house feels immediately familiar. The warmth and romance of the English countryside blend effortlessly with generous windows, natural materials, and a seamless connection to the outdoors. The result feels as relevant today as ever. Its sprawling single-level floor plan is both inviting and highly livable. Rooms flow naturally from one to the next, equally suited for everyday living and gracious entertaining. A fourth bedroom and adjoining bath are thoughtfully positioned apart from the main living spaces, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private suite. Inside, old-growth redwood paneling has developed a rich warmth, complemented by vintage brass hardware and beautifully preserved architectural details. Throughout the home, exceptional craftsmanship and enduring materials create an atmosphere of authenticity that is increasingly rare. Just moments away, the Woodmont Neighborhood Swim Club offers one of the Berkeley Hills' most treasured traditions: a place where neighbors gather, children spend long summer days by the pool, and community still feels wonderfully personal. Few homes offer this combination of privacy, sweeping views, and extraordinary grounds. Nearly half an acre of mature landscape creates the feeling of a private park, just minutes from the cultural heart of Berkeley. More than a home in the Berkeley Hills, this is a property deeply rooted in its landscape, where timeless architecture, magnificent trees, and exceptional tranquility come together in rare harmony. BESO score is 1.

798 Creston is a legacy property. Gracing well over a quarter acre in the Berkeley Hills, this William Wurster-designed, one-level and level-in estate sits in total privacy behind a tall fence. If one is lucky enough to pass through its gate, the dream-quality of this home is revealed. First, walking through the courtyard, is a large garden and brick patio surrounded on three sides by this embracing home. Glass French doors reveal the high-ceilinged living room, to a Golden Gate Bridge view on the other side. The home wraps, U-shaped, around the courtyard; at the center, a grand living room with a deck to a landscaped back yard; the uniquely lovely, custom kitchen; and dining room sitting between the two, glowing in ample natural light. Sleeping quarters and an office, in wings, on either side of the home. Each bedroom is distinct, two with a bay view and ensuite, one overlooking the garden, one wrapped in windows. The home boasts four original tiled bathrooms, each with their own charming color scheme. The courtyard is the beating heart of the space, drawing occupants and guests outside to this central outdoor garden. The oft-used phrase “indoor/outdoor living” is truly fitting here. And on the other side of the courtyard is the converted garage, now a spacious flex space – worry not, there are still two off-street parking spaces under a carport. With one small step to the front door, space to roam, expand, garden or play, and ten minutes down the hill to Solano, Westbrae, and Thousand Oaks, this compound offers all that one could need – it’s a home you won't want to leave and love to come back to. | HERS score forthcoming.

Set behind a fenced front garden with a mature oak and a cherry tree, 1010 Keeler Avenue offers mid-century flair and a layout that just makes sense. Loved by the same family for six decades, the home comes to market for the first time in a generation. The entry is level — no steps — and opens to an updated eat-in kitchen that flows into a spacious living and dining room with access to a deck. The main level offers true single-level living: three good-sized bedrooms and two baths, including an en-suite, all on the entry floor. Both bathrooms have been updated (check out the cool floor tile!) while keeping touches of their original character. Downstairs, a fourth bedroom and bath give guests their own quarters, alongside a generous family room — complete with built-in bookshelves — that opens to a second deck. A hobby room rounds out the lower level, a flexible space waiting for your ideas — studio, videogame den, wine room, you name it. A separate exterior entrance to part of the lower level offers future ADU potential — extended family, home office, or income possibilities down the road. The indoor-outdoor flow works on both levels. The fenced front garden catches the morning sun — an ideal spot to sit with coffee or the paper — while decks off both the main living room and the downstairs family room extend the living space outside. And there is a yard too, ready for your vision. The upper deck faces West - enjoy the sunsets! The two- car garage is actually usable and the house has great storage throughout and so many closets, you will lose track if you try to count them. The practical boxes are checked too: updated electrical (no knob-and-tube), new appliances, sewer lateral compliant, and really well maintained throughout. Energy Score is a 1. The kids in this house grew up being told "go play in the park"; Remillard Park is a wonderful park with grassy areas, an awesome playground and a rock to climb (Pinnacle Rock) and it is, quite literally, just down the street. It's also a gathering place for the community. Enjoy city and Bay views from several windows, the feeling of being secluded and the convenience of a 6-minute drive from Keeler to Marin Ave to Solano Ave - and all it has to offer!

Some homes are built. Others are composed. In the early 1920s, artist-architect Paul Beygrau and his wife, Marie Rosalie Schaff, a gifted woodcarver from Alsace, arrived in Berkeley after distinguished work abroad. Trained in both fine arts and architecture, Beygrau had designed interiors for royal commissions in England and public buildings in Winnipeg. Together, they turned to a deeply personal project in the Berkeley hills, creating neighboring homes that would express their shared artistic vision. Home Energy Score of 1 At 1049 and 1051 Keith Avenue, they produced what many regard as their collaborative masterwork - a rare expression of European artistry translated into California architecture. Featured on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle in 1928, the home was described as “the most remarkable expression of domestic art and architecture in the Bay Region.” At 1049 Keith, artistry is present in nearly every surface. Massive hand-carved doors, reportedly shaped by Marie herself, open to interiors rich in material and craft. Inlaid hardwood floors run throughout, while the living and dining rooms unfold with grand scale, clad in solid redwood wainscoting. Overhead, decorative ceilings reflect European fresco traditions, reimagined in sculptural plaster and painted finishes. The main level is anchored by these dramatic spaces, along with a period-inspired kitchen and marble-appointed bath. Upstairs, the primary suite feels expansive - defined by a columned atrium ceiling and French doors opening to a sweeping view deck. Two additional bedrooms offer distinct character: one wrapped in warm wood for a more intimate feel, the other a larger, double-sized room with fireplace, garden access, and an ornate ceiling. Outside, the grounds cascade in a series of terraces - an upper level for dining and gathering, a middle expanse for recreation, and lower gardens with raised beds for planting. A detached apartment, tucked privately on the property, includes a lofted sleeping area and its own terrace, ideal for guests or creative use. At once architectural artifact and living home, 1049 Keith Avenue offers something rare: a place where history, artistry, and daily life meet in enduring form

Hidden behind classic villa walls, an unexpected, expansive experience awaits: an iconic, panoramic 3-bridge view that stretches from the south bay and up over the Marin headlands to Mt. Tam. With the first step into the sun-drenched courtyard, you arrive somewhere else entirely. A sliver of light between the main house and the detached 2-story garage offers a narrow glimpse of blue water and city skyline. The kind of peek-through view you might catch between villas on a Mediterranean hillside. Inside, the foyer opens to the main staircase, and leads into the large sunken living room, where the house really begins to reveal itself. Nearly an entire wall of glass opens seamlessly onto a large viewing deck, an extraordinary setting where the term indoor-outdoor living doesn’t quite capture the moment. As dramatic as the sky tends to be on a tangerine sunset evening, the feeling of the home is relaxed, lived-in, inviting. Doors left open, something cooking in the kitchen, deciding between lounging in the sunny courtyard or any one of the multiple outdoor spaces. With a white stucco exterior, aegean blue-trimmed windows, and a signature terra-cotta tile roof, this gracious 3BR, 3BA, 2816sf home has unmistakable Mediterranean character and a gracious layout that expands over 2 structures and multiple levels. Every part of the home is designed around the view. The main house begins level-in from the courtyard and opens to a foyer, the large living room, and dining room with the main deck just through the glass doors. The charming eat-in kitchen opens through a dutch door to the courtyard for morning coffee or afternoon siestas. Up the main staircase, an en suite bedroom soaks up the views, and a second bedroom is quiet and spacious. From the main floor, you go down to the lower level where a wonderfully private primary or guest suite opens up. With a sunroom, its own deck, and an exterior entrance gives flexibility of use and separation from the rest of the home. The 2-story garage has easy access at street level, and interior access from the garage to the courtyard to the main house is almost seamless. The upper level of the detached garage has a full bathroom, a flex space, and a downstairs bonus room with separate entrance. Future expansion possibilities are endless - think ADU, gym, music room, home office, or guest house covered in blooming bougainvillea. Outside, multiple terraces and a garden cascading down the hillside await. HES 4.
