About this House

This charming Tudor-style house in the Berkeley Hills has storybook quality with its steeply pitched roof, and earth tone exterior. A graceful awning shelters the entrance, adding both character and protection from the weather. The facade combines stucco, dark wood details, and multi-pane windows creating the picturesque English-cottage appearance often associated with Berkeley's historic hillside homes. Flagstone steps and a tiled stairway leads through an iron gate to a deck and front entrance. An open entry hall welcomes you and leads you to the dining room and the living room. The dramatic living room has a vaulted ceiling, chandelier, head on views of the Golden Gate Bridge, a fireplace, and hardwood floors. The gracious dining room has built-in cabinets with French doors leading to the beautiful yard. The French country kitchen, with Carrera marble counters, high-end appliances, custom cabinets, recessed lighting, and a breakfast space has French doors to the garden. The second floor features three bedrooms, two and one-half baths and beautiful lighting throughout. The primary bedroom suite has Bay views, a chandelier, architectural archways, nooks, ample closets, and a remodeled bathroom. Two other spacious bedrooms are connected to a sweetheart bathroom. The lower level has a tiled floor, room with laundry, toilet, cabinets, and lots of storage. The garage has lots of room for storage and one car, with additional room to park in the driveway. The landscaped backyard has patios on two levels. The house feels especially at home among the mature trees and winding streets of the Berkeley Hills. A short distance to Grotto Rock Park gives you views of the entire Bay Area.

    "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 "
