Property is move-in ready.
This 1955 mid-century home is in move-in ready condition, having been recently 'refreshed' with professional interior and exterior paint and refinished hardwood floors. The kitchen features functional updates including stone countertops, slate tile flooring, and stainless steel appliances, though the cabinetry style suggests an older renovation (likely 10-15 years ago). The bathrooms are well-maintained with modern features like a jetted tub and separate shower. While the home retains its vintage 1950s infrastructure, the cosmetic updates and well-preserved architectural features like the tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings justify a 'Good' rating.
The property offers breathtaking views spanning from the Bay Bridge to the North Bay and uniquely backs directly onto the 13th green of the Berkeley Country Club.
Sun-filled living areas feature stunning tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, complemented by recent professional updates including refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout.
Multiple tiered outdoor spaces, including a dedicated 'champagne deck' and a private dining deck, are perfectly positioned to maximize the home's scenic hilltop setting.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1444, other record living area = 1283.
Built in 1955, the home may require ongoing maintenance or future upgrades to core systems that typically accompany properties of this era despite cosmetic refreshments.
At 1,444 square feet, the interior layout may feel restrictive for buyers seeking the expansive open-concept floor plans or larger secondary bedrooms found in newer builds.
A beautifully refreshed single-level home offering 1,444 square feet of living space on a generous 5,750 square foot lot. This home backs up directly to the 13th green of the Berkeley County Club. A private entry porch with skylights leads into a sun-filled living, dining, and kitchen areas featuring stunning tongue-and-grove vaulted ceilings and sweeping panoramic views from the Bay Bridge to the North Bay. Enjoy unforgettable sunsets from the dining room deck, or relax in the thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, including a side patio, garden pathway, rear deck, concrete patio, and upper “champagne deck” perfectly positioned for taking advantage of the sweeping views. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a rear primary suite with backyard access and a spacious hall bath with a jetted tub and separate shower. The home has been freshly painted inside and out, with refinished hardwood floors, and a large detached two-car garage. Ideally located near Berkeley County Club, scenic trailheads, Wildcat Canyon, shopping, BART, and major freeways. Zoned for Madera Elementary. Sunday Opens 3/29 and 4/5 (Happy Easter) 2-4:30pm.
