Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although originally built in 1954, the property has undergone an extensive and high-end renovation within the last 5 years. The interior features a beautifully modernized chef's kitchen with premium 'Big Chill' appliances and designer geometric tile, stylishly remodeled bathrooms for every bedroom, and updated hardwood flooring throughout. The home shows impeccable maintenance with modern light fixtures and vaulted ceilings, meeting current luxury standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
The property offers breathtaking, unobstructed vistas of the San Francisco skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge from every level, a highly coveted feature that significantly drives market value in the Berkeley Hills.
The flexible floor plan includes en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom and independent outdoor access on each level, making it an ideal setup for multi-generational families or high-end guest accommodations.
The kitchen has been stylishly updated with top-of-the-line appliances and abundant storage, designed specifically to facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining via direct deck and garden access.
With a BESO Score of 1, the property ranks at the lowest end of Berkeley's energy efficiency scale, suggesting a need for future investments in insulation or systems to reduce high utility costs.
The steep Berkeley Hills location, while providing views, typically results in limited flat yard space and may present accessibility challenges for those with mobility concerns despite the street-level garage.
A private sanctuary in the coveted Berkeley Hills, this luxurious retreat offers gorgeous San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge views from every level. The open and inviting floor plan connects generous living, sitting and dining areas with a balcony, capturing natural light and dramatic vistas from sunrise to sunset. A beautifully modernized chef’s kitchen is colorful and trendy - equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and abundant storage. Double doors open to a deck and garden - perfect for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Flexible floorplan is ideal for multi-generational living as each floor has access to the outdoors while still being connected. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom - 2 bedrooms with stylishly remodeled baths are found on the main level, while the lower-level primary suite or in-law offers direct access to a private deck with hot tub. This luxurious escape comes with another bedroom overlooking the view, a gas fireplace, sitting area, walk-in closet, and laundry. Storage, a 2-car garage on the street level and impeccable maintenance are a testament to convenience and comfort! Ideally located near Tilden Park & the Golf Course, with convenient access to UC Berkeley, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, style, comfort, and nature. BESO Score 1
