Description

A canopy of soaring redwoods transforms the approach into something cinematic, an arrival that sets the tone for this remarkable Berkeley Hills Mid-Century. Private, serene, and dramatic, the home pairs striking architecture with a deep connection to its natural surroundings, punctuated by peek-a-boo views through the trees.

Crafted in concrete and recently renovated, this house remains true to the vision that made Mid-Century design enduring in the first place. The kitchen and baths have been thoughtfully updated, adding a fresh layer of refinement without disturbing the architectural integrity that defines the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull light deep into the interiors, while a stone fireplace anchors the living room. Slate floors bring texture and authenticity to the dining room, where doors open to the outdoors. Skylights in both the kitchen and bathroom add another layer of natural light, shifting with the day and the seasons.

The main residence includes two bedrooms, two full baths, a flexible den, an additional room off the kitchen ideal as an office, studio, or workout space, and interior access to the attached two-car garage. Built-in shelving in both bedrooms speaks to the home's original design intelligence, while the primary suite features built-in cabinetry and a wood-lined walk-in closet that feels lifted from another era, in the best possible way.

A studio with a private entrance and full bath offers welcome separation for guests, creative pursuits, or work-from-home life.

Perhaps most surprising of all is the level front yard, a rare and highly coveted feature in the Berkeley Hills. Hidden beyond a redwood-lined driveway and set well back from the street, the property feels remarkably private, immersed in nature and removed from the rush of daily life. This is a home with character, space, and a sense of escape.

Berkeley Hills

Spectacular bay views, ample trees, and impressive homes, one of the most desirable places in East Bay.

Welcome to Berkeley Hills

With its spectacular bay views, ample trees, and impressive homes, the Berkeley Hills is one of the most desirable places to live in the East Bay.
 
Architecturally, it's a rich smorgasbord of Craftsman bungalows, ranch houses, Italian-style villas, Spanish farmhouses, and Tudor manors. (The neighborhoods around Southampton Avenue are particularly abundant in period revival architecture.) Renowned 20th-century architects such as Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, and John Galen Howard made contributions here, imbuing the landscape with a sense of history and permanence.
 
Although there is little in the way of commercial businesses in the hills, an extensive network of pathways and staircases link hills residents to amenities in North Berkeley. Hills residents also have access to numerous parks and green spaces. Locals can often be found rock climbing at Indian Rock Park, enjoying Bernard Maybeck's fragrant Rose Walk, or picnicking at the Berkeley Rose Garden, considered by many to be the finest rose garden in Northern California.
 
Other area favorites include the UC Botanical Garden and the Lawrence Hall of Science, where children can enjoy hands-on educational activities. Tilden Park, which has a delightful merry-go-round and steam train, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of the East Bay park system.
 
When the fog rolls in off the Pacific, shrouding the hillside in a mysterious mist, no place else feels more tranquil or transporting.
