About This Home
As of March 2025This 4710 sq ft home is set on a quiet street in one of Berkeley’s preeminent neighborhoods, on a rare 1/3 acre lot with a spacious yard that extends down to the Brookside cul-de-sac. Entertain guests outside or in the oversized living room, which offers a fireplace and southwest views of SF. The spacious dining room sits adjacent; it is proximate to the well-appointed kitchen, with Wolf and SubZero appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a 32 sq ft island, dual sinks, and distinctive lighting. Enjoy morning coffee in the cheery sun room nearby. Oak hardwoods cover the entire main floor and Sonos ceiling speakers offer one’s choice of music on multiple levels. 4 bedrooms lie on the newly carpeted upstairs floor; the principal suite offers skyline views, a fireplace, a travertine radiant heated bathroom, and a spacious shower illuminated by a skylight. Downstairs from the main floor is the ballroom. The fifth bedroom is also on the lowest level, and it includes a walk-through closet and en-suite bathroom. The main laundry room sits adjacent (another washer-dryer is available upstairs). Plentiful storage space is available on all levels. Tesla roof tiles and Powerwall batteries keep utility costs low, and parking is easy (in the gated driveway or the 2-car garage).
