Under a canopy of mature redwoods, you will find fragrant ferns, flowering perennials, a spacious patio, and a detached cedar-sided craft studio. This is a property to truly cherish. Experience the serenity of being above it all while remaining within walking distance of the world-renowned university and everything Berkeley has to offer. BESO SCORE 2
