Description

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 2 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 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. BESO score of 5. 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
