About This Home

As of December 2022

Enjoy panoramic views of SF, the GG Bridge, Alcatraz, & Bay Bridge in this aerie home perched in Berkeley Hills. This unique compound consists of a main house, studio, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, & the potential to convert the basement space into a junior ADU or connect it to the main house to create a 3/2 home. The current owners have spent nearly a decade on their “labor of love,” meticulously reinforcing the home w/new hillside concrete steps, retaining walls, & patio spaces to create stunning hillside-tiered gardens that are sustainably irrigated by the home’s grey water. They made infrastructure enhancements to the main house w/the goal of transforming the lower basement into an incredible primary suite w/an ensuite bath & golden gate views + a new laundry & entry foyer, which would potentially access 700 sf of living space. The next owner of this property will benefit from their tireless vision. The main house balances an upper entertaining level w/an open living room/dining area & kitchen, 2 beds/1 bath. Breezy indoor/outdoor flow takes you to a spacious deck, w/sweeping city lights & Bay views. A separate studio offers an ideal workspace or artist’s retreat complete w/kitchenette & bathroom. The location puts you close to Campus, Gourmet Ghetto & Solano Ave.
