At the heart of the home is a chef's kitchen featuring a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and beautiful teak cabinetry. Fully remodeled and move-in ready, the home reflects years of thoughtful care and attention to detail. Equally impressive is the rare combination of beautiful views and a flat, functional yard, a particularly desirable find in the Berkeley Hills.

Ideal for a home office, guest accommodations, multigenerational living, or potential rental income. Additional highlights include an impressive BESO score of 10 and a convenient location near Tilden Regional Park, Solano Avenue, Marin Avenue, and the vibrant shops, cafés, and restaurants of North Berkeley, with easy access to hiking trails and outdoor recreation. A truly special opportunity to enjoy three highly sought-after features in one Berkeley Hills property: iconic Bay and Golden Gate Bridge views, a rare flat yard, and a fully permitted detached ADU.
