About This Home
As of September 2021Designed by noted architect W.H. Hooper this exceptional Spanish Mediterranean was built in an era where craftsmanship and materials mattered. Sited in the N. Berkeley Hills with floor to ceiling windows that showcase tremendous SF Bay views. Authentic period details at every arch, curve and corner, high ceilings, hand hewn Viga beams and one of a kind wrought iron work, all blended with masterful modern updates. The kitchen is replete with a Wolf range, a suite of high-end stainless appliances, marble counters and adjacent to the breakfast room housed in the rounded turret. A centerpiece sweeping spiral staircase is accented with Spanish tiles leads to three bedrooms and two baths inclusive of a spectacular primary suite again with stunning views. The lower level has an expansive art studio/family room or flex space with recessed lighting and original rustic fir floors. There is a 2-car garage, off-street parking, storage and landscaped grounds fit for any avid gardener.
