Description

This exceptionally maintained and tastefully updated 1955 home is the perfect blend of contemporary elegance and the surrounding natural beauty. Perched up in the North Berkeley Hills, there’s the beloved neighborhood park & playground of the Parkhills Homeowners Association around the corner, and countless scenic Tilden trails begin practically at your door. Yet it’s only a short drive to Berkeley's finest restaurants, shops, highly regarded public schools*, and BART. The main floor boasts 3 bedrooms/2baths, and a sunny eat-in kitchen with custom cabinets, high-end appliances, and a pantry. Tilden views from the living and dining room are captivating! The large downstairs is the perfect office space and can double as a TV or guest room, allowing peace and serenity. It has it's own entrance and a private patio by a charming flower bed. High-end features throughout include dual-pane windows, random plank hardwood floors, and natural wood moldings. Plus a spacious 2-car garage and an electrical car charger. A happy lime and plum tree, plus a sizable terraced garden might inspire the urban farmer! Think Limoncello and fresh produce from your own piece of land. The stunning modern concrete patio with cafe lights is big enough to host all your loved ones! www.3TheShortcut.com

    "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."
