About This Home
As of October 2024A WOW house on a fab street! Designed by William Wurster in 1954, this home is all about the panoramic views of SF Bay. Unassuming, private & level-in from the street, everything changes upon entering. With the large expanses of windows & the deck you feel you are one with nature.... Entry, living & dining areas flow into 1 large dramatic space. W Wurster expanded/reconfigured the lower level in the mid 60’s, creating a spacious primary suite w large deck, + two other bedrooms &bath. An original bedroom w full bath on the main level is shown as office/TV room, but could be a bedroom. An updated kitchen opens to rear deck. Perfect for the empty nester or a pied-a terre when visiting Berkeley! The lot extends down to El Camino... could be a garden but serves as a serene outlook to the view. Decks & structural & seismic components need work. At 48 Oak Ridge you get amazing views + a super friendly street. 3 paths lead to El Camino w easy access to the Claremont Hotel & Spa, Berkeley Tennis Club, Peets Coffee, SF Express Bus & the many amenities of Claremont, Elmwood & Rockridge. Carport w level in access, lower- level storage.
