About This Home
As of March 2022This Mid-century modern home is perfectly positioned on Panoramic Hill and showcases glorious views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Oakland Bay Bridge and the urban cityscapes of San Francisco and Oakland. Walls of windows allow soft natural light to flood the sunny single-level layout while also framing the breathtaking vista from many rooms in the house. You will love to gather with guests in the charming living area with wood floors and a fireplace that overlooks the landscaped garden with a rich sakura cherry tree. You can cook up a storm on the chef-favorite Wolf range before moving outside to the wrap-around entertaining areas. The house is conveniently located on a cul-de-sac, at the top of the public stairs on Orchard Lane that leads directly down the Panoramic hill. A staircase only two houses up provides rare access to a meandering of beautiful hiking trails. The UC Berkeley campus is only 5 minutes away, the Elmwood and Bancroft area shops and cafes are nearby.
