Description

This Claremont Hills jewel offers the rare combination of an idyllic setting just minutes from the vibrancy of world-class cities. The 4,783-square-foot home spans four levels and looks down on Berkeley from its hillside perch. You won't want to leave the huge family room area, resting under a vaulted ceiling more than 20 feet high. If you do, it will be to use the adjoining French doors to enjoy the spacious outdoor deck with commanding views to the sun-swept south and west. The main house comprises 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, including an elegant master suite, with lofted ceilings and skylights throughout. The kitchen has been updated with high end appliances. A breakfast nook adjoins the kitchen and the dining room. The adjoining studio apartment is an additional 669 square feet and has its own full bathroom and kitchenette. A personal elevator originates at the two-car garage at street level, descending to serve both the main house and the studio.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "Commute is pretty easy. A few minutes to the freeway or to BART. Safer to take transit from Orinda. Very short drive to downtown SF when traffic is light. "

    "It’s safe from what I’ve experienced. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of racists, which is a plus. And it’s pretty quiet "

    "Not a great commute to Bart, or anywhere as I am up in the hills. Everywhere is a drive for me. However it’s a trade off to the view and the peaceful neighborhood."

  • Rinna
    "We live here and for us it is like coming home to a vacation place every day. This is on a small dead end street way up in the hills and there is lots of privacy but yet there is a friendly neighborhood that stays in touch and alerts people to possible danger or trespassers. We recommend this for anyone who can drive."
