Description

Elevated north Berkeley Hills Bay-view home on double lot. With a complete down to the studs renovation from 2018 – 2020. With no telephone poles and wires obstructing world class views of the San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge, straight on views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Tam and the Richmond San Rafael Bridge. Living, dining, and lower-level entertainment rooms showcase expansive windows framing Bay vistas, the largest stretching 12 feet across the dining room. Top-to-bottom transformation of everything from foundation to solar roof panels and all in between: plumbing, electrical, hardwood flooring, dual-pane windows, HVAC, appliances, lighting, and more. In a fresh take on the home’s original aesthetic, Art Deco motif brings geometric glamour. Radiant, connected public spaces, where expansive windows frame panoramas of five counties and three iconic bridges, include a dine-in island-centric kitchen. A family room with the second fireplace opens to paver terrace and landscaped garden, plus grand-scaled living, dining, and entertainment rooms. The attached ADU, which also looks to the Bay, features a separate entry, upscale full kitchen and bathroom, multipurpose living area, plus dedicated deck. Two car garage plus driveway for seven cars.

    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"

From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
