About This Home
As of June 2019Privacy, proximity and panoramas, the ultimate trifecta. This executive home is a rare offering in the coveted Claremont Hills of Berkeley. Descending the sunken front steps through the lush front yard, anyone entering the home is immediately struck by the massive floor to ceiling wall-to-wall windows framing million dollar views. This one of a kind bi-level floorplan spans over 2400 square feet featuring 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The main level features soaring ceilings, a cozy fireplace, guest bedroom suite and bonus space for office/media room. The open flow between the living room, dining room and relaxing deck is an entertainer’s dream. Dramatic skylights and French doors unite the sleek chef’s kitchen with the peaceful front patio. The lower floor offers a spacious owner’s suite with jaw dropping vistas, along with an extra bedroom and bathroom which can double as an AuPair with its own separate entry & kitchenette.
