About This Home
As of July 2025ENCHANTING AND ELEGANT This extraordinary 1927 Spanish Revival is a rare and wonderful find from another era, with storybook architectural details, layers of lovely gardens and spectacular views. Set on a quiet street in the Berkeley hills, its considerable charm is apparent from its street presence.A wooden deck in the corner is ideal for enjoying the view, accompanied by sounds of birdsong and the fountain.On the tower side of the house is a guest quarters/au pair suite with a separate entrance that has a fairy-tale feel. Inside, steps off the handsome foyer, is a grand living room, with soaring curved ceilings and a dramatic oversized arched window that frames the fabulous view of downtown Oakland and San Francisco. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with high end appliances, a stainless farmhouse sink, quartz counters.
