Dramatic walls of windows and French doors maximize light, views, and indoor-outdoor flow. The main house has an open-concept living area with vaulted ceilings, wood floors, a sparkling new kitchen, and wrap-around decks and patio, complete with hot tub. No detail overlooked, including energy-efficient double-pane windows throughout, newly rebuilt 2-car carport, 26 owned solar panels, 3 Tesla power walls, EV-ready, underground fiber optic cable. BESO/HES score:10! Imagine waking to birdsong, enjoying the setting sun each day, and drifting off to sleep with the soothing sounds of year-round running water on your own 2/3 of an acre. So idyllic and peaceful, you’ll forget that you are minutes away from bustling Berkeley hot spots like the Gourmet District, Solano Ave, and renowned UC Berkeley campus.
