Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1994 (30 years old), the property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. While the bathrooms and cabinetry reflect the original 1990s construction, the kitchen has been updated with new stainless steel appliances. The home's functional systems and 'mint' presentation by the original owners elevate it to the good category despite its chronological age.
The home features breathtaking, architecturally framed views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay, and three bridges, providing a premium visual experience from nearly every room.
Custom-designed by an architect for his own family and offered for the first time, the property boasts a cohesive, thoughtful design that seamlessly integrates the interior with the surrounding landscape.
Situated on a rare double lot, the property includes meticulously planned gardens, fruit trees, and multiple elevated decks, offering superior outdoor living and privacy in the Claremont Hills.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =5807, other record lot size in square feet = 7088.
While the property has a Berkeley mailing address, it is located within the City of Oakland, which may lead to complexity regarding property taxes, school districts, and municipal services.
The multi-level floor plan, with secondary bedrooms and bonus spaces located on the lower level, may be less desirable for buyers seeking a more traditional or single-level living arrangement.
Some homes are built. Others are dreamed into existence. Designed by the family’s own father — a gifted architect who shaped not only the home itself but also the landscape surrounding it — this property was conceived from the ground up as a single, cohesive vision. Held by one family since the day it was completed, it now makes its very first appearance on the market. That lineage is felt the moment you step inside. The architecture speaks a clear intention. Windows were placed not merely for light, but to frame the world beyond — pulling the Bay, the hills, and the sweeping spans of three bridges, including the Golden Gate, directly into the fabric of daily life. On a clear day the views stretch for miles. The shapes of the rooms, the angles of the walls, the way spaces open and turn — all of it was conceived to keep nature present, visible, and close. Inside, the open-concept living and dining areas flow together with an easy generosity, spilling out through doors onto an elevated deck that reaches out over the landscape below — perfectly perched for long dinner parties as the sun drops behind the hills and the bridges catching the last of the evening light. The eat-in kitchen, beautifully updated with all-new stainless steel appliances, sits at the heart of it all, making the flow from kitchen to table to open air completely natural. The primary bedroom with its en suite bath sits on the main level alongside a hall bath and a well-placed laundry room. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a bonus room ideal for a home office, and a family room open through doors onto a deck leading into the gardens. Here the architect’s hand is felt once more. The pathways, the plantings, the quiet rhythms of roses, fruit trees, a strawberry patch, and tended garden beds — all of it was laid out with the same deliberate care as the home above. There are unhurried corners here that reveal themselves slowly, and a sense of sanctuary that only deepens with time. Set on a generous double lot, this is a home that was built for a family who loved it fully — and it shows in every detail. Beautifully updated, it arrives fresh and ready to welcome the next family who chooses to make it their own. Berkeley mailing address, City of Oakland.
