About This Home

As of August 2024

Beautiful Views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, the city of San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and down into UC Berkeley and Edwards Stadium. Zoned for 3 stories, the views get better from the rooftop! This home has been loved by the same family (that of Klaus Halbach, famed UC Physicist) since the 1960s. It offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and garden areas and a greenhouse that are ready for the next loving owners. You can take the Wilson Pathway down and then around your way to the Lawrence Hall of Science (1/4 mile) or stroll up the quiet Summit Road to enter the Tilden Trails that connect and stretch along the back side of the Oakland and Berkeley Hills. Just around the corner from Tilden Golf Course, and a short drive down Centennial to UC Berkeley and the downtown. Let the city, the surroundings and this home be your canvas and your inspiration, as they were for Klaus and his family!
