As of October 20247121 Norfolk embodies the visionary dream of master designer Phillip Perkins, sited atop Claremont Hills to capture breathtaking panoramic views of 3 iconic bridges.

The main floor seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor spaces, with a warm, ambient kitchen featuring a raised banquet overlooking the stunning vistas. Large arches and pillars accentuate the open floor plan, complemented by a media/family room opening to a BBQ deck.

The residence exemplifies architectural brilliance and thoughtful design, highlighted by expansive windows bathing living spaces in natural light. Beyond its walls, a private driveway leads to an oversized 2-car garage with additional versatile rooms, ideal for offices or storage. Nestled in the Berkeley Hills near Rockridge BART and major highways, the home offers unrivaled access to the Bay Area. 7121 Norfolk is more than a home; it is a sanctuary where craftsmanship meets the Bay Area's natural beauty.
