About this House

A once-in-a-generation opportunity has arrived in the North Berkeley Hills. Offered for the first time since it was built nearly 90 years ago, this beloved 1936 single-family home has been cherished by one family for its entire life — and now awaits its next fortunate steward. Set on a rare useable lot, the property features a coveted two-car driveway and attached two-car garage — an extraordinary find in the hills — along with a large, gently terraced backyard that invites gardening, entertaining, or simply soaking in the surroundings. Step directly onto the adjacent Berkeley Hills walking path and find yourself immersed in nature within seconds of your own back door. The official 1,470 square feet* across 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms only tells part of the story. Below the main level, a large bonus third bedroom, a generous laundry room, and an even more expansive workshop (almost 1200 SF) offer space and flexibility that most hillside homes can only dream of — none of it counted in the official square footage. Whether you envision a home studio, hobby space, or room for extended family, the possibilities are exceptional.** A low pest report offers buyers added confidence and peace of mind, while sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay serve as a daily reminder—morning and evening—of why so many people fall in love with this neighborhood. Home Energy Score of 5. Bed/ bath count do not match county records* Easy access to Tilden Regional Park, UC Berkeley, and the shops and restaurants of North Berkeley make this a rare hillside retreat that stays connected to everything the East Bay has to offer. Homes like this — with this history, this lot, and these features — simply do not come along twice. *Buyer to investigate

    "It's a very safe neighborhood. Cragmont park and remillard park are great for kids. It's beautiful and hilly so you need to be fit to get around. "
  • Cameron T.
    "Dog owners would and do love this neighborhood because there isn’t much traffic, there are many exciting animal smells to sniff—and dog walks are a terrific way to meet nice people quickly and easily."
  • Carmelo S.
    "A lot of residents have dogs and they walk them regularly. They congregate at Codornices Park across Berkeley Rose Garden"
  • Annabel
    "Easy, I drive to West Berkeley and it’s typically about 12 minutes to get to work. Driving in the Berkeley hills always calls for caution as there are people and children out on the streets where there aren’t always proper sidewalks. "
  • Princess O.
    "All the wildlife are present - squirrels, cats, deer, turkey to make your dog want to run and chase them away. Rare sightings of coyote in the neighborhood and mid night sounds of wild cats hunting."
  • Princess O.
    "Hills, architecture, parks every where, great city views on walks, a sense of community (which can make people too wary), greenery, lots of dog walking at any hour, nature is so close which is fantastic for bird watching (Cal Falcons, Commodores, etc), deer frolicking all the time, turkey can be seen on their strolls, every house a drive way but most are too small for cars to fit. "
  • Carmelo S.

  • jkorchin
    "Haven't lived in this neighborhood in years, but often go back for friends and family and am always pleased to visit the area. It's green; the architecture is varied by virtue of the topography; stunning views of the City abound and are perfectly centered as this neighborhood is almost due east of the Golden Gate Bridge, which also plays a big role in the neighborhood's wonderful microclimate."
