About This Home

As of August 2021

Designed by architect Richard Janzen with trademark tall ceilings, artfully arranged living spaces, strikingly handsome finishes and window arrangement respecting the setting’s abundant natural light, 6868 Buckingham is set between the Claremont Hotel and Grizzly Peak. Tranquil and sophisticated, the home’s entrance crosses a welcoming private patio and flows into the main living space’s hospitable living, dining, kitchen, den, bonus/guest room and full bath. Spacious principal en suite bedroom with huge closet and private deck plus additional bedrooms and third bath on lower level. 6868 Buckingham has a Berkeley address but lies within Oakland city limits, proximate to both College Avenue/Rockridge and Orinda services and shopping. Proximate to regional bike trails and East Bay Regional Parks’ Tilden. Sewer lateral compliant, pest and home inspections clear. Canyon views create a sense of peace throughout every inch of this remarkably gracious home.
