About This Home

Custom-built upper-level residence completely rebuilt from the ground up by the owner-builder for his family in 1998, this architectural North Berkeley home blends exceptional craftsmanship with thoughtful design, privacy, and an independent single-family feel. Part of an intimate two-unit TIC in the process of condo-conversion, the expansive upper-level home spans two stories with no shared walls, generous living spaces, and custom detailing throughout. Main level features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, hydronic heating, a beautifully updated chef’s kitchen with Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, wine fridge, and deck access, along with two bedrooms and two bathrooms including a spacious primary suite. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms, a sitting area, full bath, and sunny Ipe wood roof top deck with peek-a-boo views of the San Francisco Bay and Mt. Tamalpais. Exclusive-use yard is over 1,000 sqft, with mature landscaping and patio. Off-street parking and storage is also included and of exclusive use. Modern systems include steel-reinforced, engineered concrete foundation with seismic retrofitting, copper plumbing, Romex electrical wiring, dual-pane windows, sewer lateral compliance, and a brand new roof. Near North Berkeley BART, Monterey Market, Hopkins Street, Gourmet District, beloved Totland park, King pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and Ohlone Greenway. A rare opportunity offering the scale and privacy of a single-family home in one of Berkeley’s most coveted neighborhoods. Fractional financing options available through experienced local lenders.
