Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Views & Natural Light: The property boasts serene treetop, Bay, City Lights, Canyon, and Hills views, complemented by expansive windows that flood the interiors with natural light and frame lush greenery.
Spacious & Flexible Living: With approximately 5,000 sq ft, 5 bedrooms, and 4.5 baths, including a flexible in-law unit, the home offers significant scale and versatility for various living arrangements.
Modern Amenities & Design: Built in 2004, this striking architectural gem features an elevator for convenience across its five stories, a 2-car garage, and ample storage, blending modern comfort with unique design.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located on the Oakland/Berkeley border, the residence offers minutes-long access to BART, major highways (24 & 580), The Claremont Club & Spa, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Elmwood and Rockridge.
Enhanced Indoor/Outdoor Living: Decks on every level and a seamless flow from the main living area to a garden terrace significantly enhance the indoor/outdoor living experience, ideal for entertaining and relaxation.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 5000, other record living area = 4742.
Multi-Level Layout (5 Stories): Despite the presence of an elevator, a five-story residence may present challenges for some buyers regarding daily navigation, moving, or a general preference for fewer levels.
Split Municipal Services: The 'Berkeley mailing, Oakland services' arrangement can lead to administrative complexities and potential confusion for homeowners regarding taxes, utilities, and local regulations.
Limited Traditional Yard Space: Being 'perched' on a hillside with multiple decks and a garden terrace, the property likely offers limited expansive, flat traditional yard space, which some buyers, especially those with children or pets, might desire.
