About This Home
As of February 2018Lovingly maintained since 1936, this gracious Mediterranean villa is set around a peaceful garden courtyard with a trickling fountain. Both levels of the home boast expansive views of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge. An over sized living room offers 2 sets of French doors leading to the courtyard to the east, Bay views to the west, a vintage fireplace, and an exquisite wood-clad, coffered ceiling. The formal dining room opens to a sun-drenched, west-facing balcony. The eat-in kitchen is graced by custom, handmade tile on countertops and backsplashes, as is the hall bathroom with its hand-plastered walls. There are 4 bedrooms, 3 of which have French doors leading to individual patios, and 3 full baths. The grandeur of Tilden Park is just blocks away, while Solano Avenue’s convenient shopping and dining district, the Gourmet Ghetto, North Berkeley BART, and the UC Berkeley campus are just minutes away!
