About this House

A sanctuary in the hills! The views of San Francisco on this street are amazing. Hidden behind a beautiful wisteria-covered fence and gate, the roof line barely visible, it is easy to pass 474 Michigan. But behind the gate is a garden sanctuary with a patio and stone benches inviting you to relax, contemplate and enjoy the surroundings. A charming yellow Monterey-style colonial house is nestled at the bottom of the hill, warm lights welcoming. It's close to Tilden Park, Kensington Village businesses, several bus lines and a short drive to BART.
This home has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,043 square feet of living space. Several bonus rooms can be used flexibly. The second-floor balcony with Italian tiles is a great place to soak in the sun, and listen and watch happenings in the inspiring garden. The bay view from the bedroom and street... the creek at the very bottom of the property... the family of deer that hangs out in back.
474 Michigan Ave, Berkeley, CA 94707 is a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2,043 sqft single-family home built in 1940. It last sold for $1,350,000 on Sep 5, 2017. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $1,936,900, with a rent estimate of $6,957/month.

    "What makes my neighborhood unique, being that I’m in Downtown Berkeley, is that I can walk to the post office, the library, many restaurants and other places like Ace Hardware and places I need to get errands done. So it is an all around is special neighborhood because I can literally walk to everything I need."

    "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!"

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. 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 "
