About This Home
As of June 2026Originally built in 1936 and once home to the founder of Peet's Coffee, this extraordinary Berkeley Hills residence has been completely reimagined through a meticulous down-to-the-studs design-build renovation by Levitch Associates. No expense was spared blending timeless architectural character with exceptional craftsmanship, modern functionality, and artistic detail — including a newly installed slab foundation as part of the extensive reconstruction. Nestled among the redwoods on a quiet cul-de-sac and set on a rare combined 16,295 sq ft — which includes the adjacent 6,000 sq ft parcel (APN 63-2988-49) — the property feels like a private forest sanctuary while remaining minutes from the very best of Berkeley. With only three steps to the entry, the home offers rare ease of access. A dramatic living room frames breathtaking Golden Gate Bridge and Bay views. The formal dining room flows into an extraordinary chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, generous pantry, Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and artisan details throughout. Custom artistic elements by local craftspeople include original stained glass, handcrafted iron stair railings, tile mosaic work, and a custom kitchen hood. The flexible floor plan offers five bedrooms, multiple office spaces, and expansive lower-level bonus areas ideal for a media room, gym, or guest quarters — with ADU potential (buyer to verify). Oversized windows throughout frame redwood and Bay views while flooding the home with natural light. Outdoor spaces were designed for both relaxation and play, with landscaped grounds, turf areas, and direct access to hidden neighborhood trails
