Description

A serene, graceful lifestyle awaits you in this Berkeley Hills mid-century modern treasure. This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was designed by prominent California architect Roger Lee, well-known for designing high style, mid-century modern homes in the 1950s and 60s. With the generous use of glass and spectacular views, this super-efficient floor plan feels much bigger that the square footage suggests. The spacious living and dining area is finished with warm wood paneling, exposed wood-beamed ceiling and a brick fireplace. Large windows provide an abundance of light throughout the home and connect harmoniously with panoramic views of the Bay, the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Mt. Tamalpais and San Francisco. The original integrity of the home has been lovingly maintained since it was built, so it remains one of the most striking mid-century modern homes in the upper Berkeley Hills/Tilden area.

Features include
- 3 bedrooms, 2 baths
- Original wood finishes on walls and ceilings, and wood floors throughout the main living spaces
- Skylights in bathrooms and hallway
- Newly painted interior
- Sewer lateral and BESO compliant
- Beautifully terraced and landscaped back yard with patio
- Amazing, panoramic views of the Bay, bridges and SF from the living room, front bedroom and the top lawn of the back yard
- Perched amidst the natural beauty of upper Berkeley Hills and Tilden Park, with easy access to scenic trails
- Within a 2-mile radius: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley Botanical Garden, UC Berkeley main campus, the Greek Theatre and Cal Stadium
- Within 1.5 miles of Solano Avenue shops and restaurants

    "It's a very safe neighborhood. Cragmont park and remillard park are great for kids. It's beautiful and hilly so you need to be fit to get around. "

    "Easy, I drive to West Berkeley and it’s typically about 12 minutes to get to work. Driving in the Berkeley hills always calls for caution as there are people and children out on the streets where there aren’t always proper sidewalks. "

    "All the wildlife are present - squirrels, cats, deer, turkey to make your dog want to run and chase them away. Rare sightings of coyote in the neighborhood and mid night sounds of wild cats hunting."

    "Hills, architecture, parks every where, great city views on walks, a sense of community (which can make people too wary), greenery, lots of dog walking at any hour, nature is so close which is fantastic for bird watching (Cal Falcons, Commodores, etc), deer frolicking all the time, turkey can be seen on their strolls, every house a drive way but most are too small for cars to fit.

    "Haven't lived in this neighborhood in years, but often go back for friends and family and am always pleased to visit the area. It's green; the architecture is varied by virtue of the topography; stunning views of the City abound and are perfectly centered as this neighborhood is almost due east of the Golden Gate Bridge, which also plays a big role in the neighborhood's wonderful microclimate."
