About this House

**Available Jan 1, 2026
 Experience the serenity of the Berkeley Hills with breathtaking sunset and ocean views. This beautifully updated 2BR, 1BA Mid-Century Modern home blends timeless design with thoughtful modern upgrades.

The open living and dining room is bathed in natural light and framed by sweeping views of the Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge the perfect setting for enjoying coffee at sunrise or watching the sun melt into the horizon.

The renovated chef's kitchen features custom Ash wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, Liebherr and Thermador stainless appliances, and handcrafted Fireclay tile, all designed to complement the home's mid-century character.

Two spacious bedrooms overlook the private backyard, offering tranquility, generous closet space, and lush green views. The updated bathroom features a marble-topped vanity, Grohe and Toto fixtures, and crisp modern tilework.

The backyard is an oasis for relaxation and play, featuring a custom treehouse, swings, and slide set among mature trees and native plants all anchored by a striking Northbrae rhyolite boulder, a remnant of ancient volcanic history.

    "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 "
