About this home
The rare Berkeley Hills fixer you’ve been waiting for, featuring sweeping multiple bridge views and impressive scale. Designed for space, light, and seamless flow, this expansive home offers a unique opportunity to create your ideal Berkeley Hills retreat.
Built in 1967 and offered for the first time, this spacious six-bedroom, four-bathroom architect-designed residence presents an incredible chance to restore, transform, or reimagine a dream home. With a rare level-in entry, an attached two-car garage with interior access, and a versatile three-level floorplan, the home offers remarkable volume and functionality ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The main level opens with a formal foyer and flows into generous living spaces, including a living and dining room combination, family room, and a bright, generously sized kitchen with abundant cabinetry and an eight-burner gas range. An impressive sunroom lined with floor-to-ceiling windows captures panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Marin Headlands, and beyond. The living room is anchored by a striking fireplace and enhanced by tall ceilings and abundant natural light. A sunlit bedroom and full bathroom provide flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or a private office. The home was thoughtfully designed and used for entertaining, including large family gatherings and business dinners.
Upstairs, four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and an adjacent sitting room or office with windows on three sides, its own fireplace, and panoramic wraparound views of the Bay and multiple bridges. Another bedroom on this level enjoys Bay views, while two additional bedrooms overlook the surrounding neighborhood. A second full bathroom with dual sinks serves these three bedrooms.
The lower level features a large recreation or bonus room with built-ins, an additional bedroom and full bathroom, plus unfinished basement areas offering excellent storage and expansion potential.
Outdoor spaces include a backyard with room for gardening and outdoor enjoyment, as well as a charming, fenced front yard featuring a dry pond and bridge.
While the home retains much of its original character, the structure, setting, and proportions present a rare opportunity to elevate a truly special Berkeley Hills property. The strong underlying structure provides a foundation for renovation and modernization.
Situated in the quiet Berkeley Hills, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Enjoy close proximity to Tilden Regional Park with its extensive hiking trails, golf course, and open space, as well as nearby access to scenic Grizzly Peak Boulevard. Just minutes from the University of California, Berkeley, Gourmet Ghetto, Solano Avenue, and Downtown Berkeley, the location provides easy access to shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. Commuting is convenient with easy access to Highway 24, Interstate 80, and regional transportation routes...
