The story
First time on the market! Built in 1985 by a local civil engineer and contractor as his own residence, this thoughtfully designed home was created around a masterful connection to the outdoors, with nearly every room opening directly outside. Glorious panoramic views span San Francisco, the Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge, with a wraparound deck making the spectacular setting accessible from the expansive upper level. Generous living and dining rooms surround an updated kitchen at the heart of the home, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. The serene primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a completely remodeled bath with double vanity, separate shower, skylight, custom tilework, and a freestanding soaking tub perfectly positioned to capture views of San Francisco. A walk-in closet and laundry closet are conveniently nearby. A second full bath and bedroom—equally suited as a home office—complete this level. The entry level offers a family room with wet bar, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath. A two-car garage with interior access adds convenience. Recently renovated from top to bottom, the home combines modern comfort, designer finishes, and an incomparable view that inspires from dawn to dusk. Ideally located in the Lower Berkeley Hills just above Codornices Park, the Berkeley Rose Garden, and the Rose Garden Tennis Courts, it is also close to North Shattuck's acclaimed restaurants and amenities, UC Berkeley, and Downtown Berkeley BART. Home Energy Score of 5.
