About This Home

As of August 2020

Offered for the first time in nearly 50 years, this secluded 4BR, 2.5BA University Hill home is surrounded by majestic oaks while being only moments from Cal, downtown Berkeley and Elmwood. The main level features vaulted ceilings in the large living room, a formal dining room and galley kitchen, with views of nature from every window and door. The primary bedroom upstairs offers a large, ensuite bathroom, private reading nook, stone fireplace and a door with direct access to the yard. One additional bedroom upstairs also has an ensuite bathroom with its own entrance. The stunning 0.28 acre lot is terraced with multiple vignettes, and accentuated by a writer’s shed at the top of the property. Connect with nature on many of the adjacent hiking trails, attend Cal sporting events, or grab takeout on College Avenue, all less than a mile from the property.
