Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone a recent high-quality renovation (under 5 years) featuring a modern open-concept kitchen with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances, new hardwood flooring, and updated recessed lighting. While it intentionally preserves a vintage-style bathroom, the overall finishes, new deck, and interior condition indicate a mint, move-in ready home with no immediate maintenance required.
The property offers a premier vantage point with panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco skyline, significantly driving its long-term value.
This home features a thoughtful renovation that balances modern open-concept living with preserved 1940s architectural soul, including warm hardwood floors and vintage-inspired tile work.
With over 2,500 square feet and a multi-level layout, the home provides excellent separation of space, including a dedicated office with a private fireplace and a flexible lower level for guests or a gym.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 6.
The sprawling yard is currently a blank canvas requiring a 'gardener’s touch,' which implies an immediate need for landscaping investment to make the outdoor space functional.
Given its 1941 construction and hillside location, the property may necessitate specialized ongoing maintenance related to drainage and seismic stability typical of the Berkeley Hills.
Perched high in the coveted Berkeley Hills, 708 Grizzly Peak Blvd is more than just a home—it’s a front-row seat to the best views in the Bay Area. This isn't a sterile flip; it’s a loving renovation that breathes new life into a classic space while keeping its soul intact. The heart of the home is a magnificent open-concept great room where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly over warm hardwood floors. It’s the kind of space designed for slow Saturday mornings and lively dinner parties alike, all framed by breathtaking vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, and the shimmering expanse of the water below. Tucked away for quieter moments is a charming reading nook and office, complete with its own private fireplace and direct access to a beautiful deck—the perfect spot to lose yourself in a book or watch the fog roll through the Golden Gate. The layout offers a thoughtful separation of space. Upstairs, you’ll find two generous bedrooms served by a vintage-inspired 1940s-style tile bathroom that radiates character. The lower level features three additional large bedrooms, providing plenty of flexibility for guests, a gym, or creative studios, as well as ample storage and a dedicated laundry area. Step outside to find a sprawling yard just waiting for a gardener’s touch. Whether you envision a lush vegetable patch or a tiered flower garden, there is plenty of room to roam. When you aren't soaking in the views from your deck, you’re just moments away from the wild beauty of Tilden Park and the vibrant shops and world-class dining that make Berkeley so iconic. This is Hills living at its most authentic and inviting. BESO score is 3.
