About This Home
Beautifully reimagined and fully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cragmont treasure offers 1,784 sq ft of refined living with breathtaking Bay panoramas. From the welcoming front porch, enjoy sweeping sights of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, and San Francisco skyline. Inside, sunlight pours into the living room anchored by a classic fireplace and new floors. The open kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a peninsula with bar seating, a breakfast nook, and a dining area—all positioned to capture iconic views. Two main-level bedrooms include one with Golden Gate vistas and dual closets, and a peaceful garden-facing room. The updated hall bath blends fresh style with modern finishes. Upstairs, the primary suite is a quiet sanctuary with skyline views, a walk-in closet, and an en suite featuring a striking navy vanity. A few steps higher, a versatile bonus room offers unmatched bridge views, ideal for a home office or guest space. The terraced backyard unfolds into multiple outdoor living areas, while a tandem garage, off-street parking, and landscaped front yard complete the home. A rare find, this residence offers an unmatched perspective over the Bay, set within one of Berkeley’s most sought-after and inspiring neighborhoods.
