About This Home

As of September 2022

This gracious Spanish hacienda style home is full of charm and lovely appointments.

Listed as duplex on the CRS data system, 279 Berkeley Park can serve as a single family home, or as two units, with an inside staircase connecting both floors. The large secluded backyard opens to a stunning redwood grove and to many other plantings. There are fruit trees in the side yard, a separate tool shed, and a small studio building. The living room and main bedroom open to the deck, which has a wonderful view out to Oakland and the Bay!
