About This Home

As of January 2022

Perched at the top of the Berkeley hills, overlooking the bay, this beautiful 4 bedroom/ 3 bath home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for 65 years! Built in 1941, tranquility and peace is what you will find when you enter through the private gate to a large sunlit, brick patio. It's perfect for lounging and al fresco entertaining or letting the kids out to play through french doors on either side of the courtyard. This home has been extensively renovated and offers sweeping bay views and plenty of lush land to garden on its large level 8,958 square foot lot. Approximately 1,117 square foot finished basement with laundry room and ample storage. Two new furnaces, a new on demand water heater, new dual-pane windows, new light fixtures, updated electrical, oak hardwood floors, and freshly painted inside and out. Accessible to Tilden Parks trails for hiking and outdoor adventures, this house has it all.
