About This Home

As of December 2021

Be transported in this rare 3 bedroom townhouse set opposite the twinkling lights of the Berkeley Hills. Feel a part of this village that raises smart kids and communes with nature in a large home within a top-ranked school district. The cul de sac location culminates at the trailhead into Albany Hill Park meandering towards a path to 99 Ranch Market. Soaring ceilings flood with gorgeous light in this rare and spacious 3 bedroom townhouse. In the living room, large picture windows face open skylines with picturesque hill views. The kitchen is open to the dining room with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances. A convenient wind-sheltered deck is great for al fresco meals. The bedrooms benefit from great separation of space. The primary suite is on its own level with private deck. The other two bedrooms share a hall bath on the upper level where a loft office is fitted with custom cabinetry. An incredible bay area value offering abundant space, great schools and easy commute.
