Secluded Architectural Gem with In-Law Suite in North Berkeley Hills
This architect-designed home sits on the edge of Tilden Regional Park with expansive green views to the east. Located on a private road in the North Berkeley Hills, it offers peace and privacy while still being just minutes from UC Berkeley, Solano Avenue, and North Berkeley amenities. Nearby are hiking and riding trails, Lake Anza, the Botanical Gardens, and a golf course.
The open floor plan includes a spacious living room, kitchen, dining room, primary bedroom, second bedroom, den/office, and two full bathrooms, along with ample storage.
