About this House

This spectacular 2-story home is a 3,300 sqft, light-filled, architectural gem that was completely eco-friendly remodeled in 2015 in a modern contemporary style. The house has 3-bedrooms, 3 1/2-bathrooms and is surrounded by large windows and custom built-ins. It has an integrated indoor-outdoor design connecting it to a large backyard furnished with a comfortable sitting area, a dining table for 8 people, and a ping-pong table.

On the first floor, there is a large living room with extra high ceilings, dining room, modern kitchen/family room, TV room, half bathroom, and a large studio with a king bed and private bathroom. The studio can be accessed both from inside the house and also has a separate entrance. The master suite, second bedroom with private bathroom, and laundry room are on the 2nd floor. The house faces west with expansive views of the Golden Gate Bridge from the second floor.

There are 25 steps from the street to the front door and in-between levels there is a 20-step modern staircase. The house has white-oak hardwood floors all around and radiant heat. The foundation was completely redone during the 2015 remodel and the house is fully updated and retrofitted.

Located in one of North Berkeley's most desirable neighborhoods, the property combines serene living with walkability. It is situated in a very quiet residential neighborhood in the lower Berkeley hills and yet only a 5-minute walk to the lively Solano Avenue shops, where you can have access to grocery stores, banks, cafes, eclectic restaurants, and vibrant retail shops. In addition, it is a 20-minute walk to the famous Berkeley Gourmet Ghetto and a 10-minute drive to the exquisite hiking trails of Tilden Park. North Berkeley is dotted with small and large parks and a network of walking paths that makes it a wonderful neighborhood to walk around, explore and relax.

One-car garage and easy on-street parking available for 2 cars. Public transportation just a 3-minute walk from the house with routes to the UC Berkeley campus (10 minutes away), San Francisco, and nearby towns. The house is also 7 minutes from the North Berkeley BART station, the subway system serving the larger SF Bay Area.

Tours: Individual tour appointments to view the property will be on Sunday, May 1st, from 12 - 4 pm.

No smoking. First, last month's rent, and security deposit (1 month's rent) are due at signing. Utilities will stay in owner's name and paid by tenant to owner directly.

    "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 "
