About This Home

As of May 2025

Steps from Cragmont Park and a few minutes from Tilden sits this gorgeous home with Bay views! Fabulous indoor-outdoor flow and great sunlight characterize this Berkeley beauty. The first floor has a grand living room looking out to the Bay, a formal dining room, and a huge updated kitchen opening out to a patio and grassy yard. Tucked to the side is an en-suite primary with soaring ceilings, banks of east-facing windows, and its own sunny patio. Up a spiral staircase is a private office space. You'll find two more ample bedrooms upstairs--one with its own balcony overlooking the yard, and the other with magnificent Bay views. Gorgeous hardwood floors, period details and charm for days!
