About This Home

As of June 2019

On the market for the first time, this quintessential Berkeley home is hidden from the street by an enclosed magical garden. From the moment you open the door and see the expansive views of the Bay, San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and Mt Tam, you'll know just how unique and special this home is. Built as their dream home by the original owners, it was completed in 1973 as a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a family room, workshop and plus spaces below. Many glorious and happy times were spent in this home, now it is ready for its next owner to make memories. You will love the 2-car garage, the studio with its own separate entrance, the brick living room fireplace, multi-level decks to catch the sunsets and much more! If location is everything in real estate, then the original owners found the dream location.
