Beautiful stately home with breathtaking Bay views from the kitchen, living room, dining room, and bedrooms. Park-like gardens with majestic volcanic outcroppings, a series of paths and stone patios. When spring comes the rhododendrons are bursting with color. This classic Berkeley home boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms in over 3,700 square feet and is situated on an 11,000 plus square foot lot (approx. per public record). Gleaming hardwood floors throughout and lovely wood wainscoting in the oversized foyer, living room and the grand formal dining room. Modern refreshed kitchen with an enormous pantry and eating area. On the lowest floor is a studio apartment with a separate entrance that opens to the garden and a path through the volcanic rock. First level has the perfect room for an office with a separate entrance and bath. A very special home for a lifetime of memories.
