About This Home
As of June 2025Discover the allure of this enchanting mid-century home perched in the Berkeley hills, seamlessly blending the magic of nature with contemporary comfort. Inside, light oak floors lead you through a stylish living room adorned with a vaulted exposed wood ceiling and a toasty brick fireplace framed by three picture windows showcasing lush greenery and peekaboo bay views. The updated kitchen is a gourmet's delight with quartz counters, light cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances. Extend your living space to the deck under an oak and redwood tree in the fenced backyard, perfect for alfresco moments. Both bedrooms have hardwood floors and amply storage while the central bath is conveniently located between the two bedrooms. A wonderful lower-level bonus space provides versatility for a home office or media room. Just blocks away, Tilden Regional Park invites outdoor enthusiasts with endless hiking and biking trails and golf course. This is more than a house; it's a sanctuary where chic living meets natural beauty!
