Property Description

Perched in the Berkeley Hills, this mid-century custom home stands as a stunning example of Berkeley Functionalism, blending timeless architectural heritage with premier modern upgrades and sustainability. Enter through the impressive wood door, framed by a classic clerestory window and a striking, full-length textured glass sidelight. Spanning over 1,800 sq. ft. of living space, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home enjoys views of San Francisco Bay and Mt. Tamalpais visible from multiple rooms. The interior is a masterclass in organic mid-century design, with an authentic shoji-style grid ceiling that defines the home's unique character and aesthetic warmth. This signature feature is beautifully paired with rich wood paneling, extensive built-in shelving, and a dramatic freestanding cone fireplace with a floating hearth. The updated kitchen beautifully balances modern convenience with period charm. Designed with an exceptional indoor-outdoor flow, the living spaces seamlessly flow to a large deck off the lower family room, a private balcony off the living room, and the kitchen's sunny patio -- so many choices for morning coffee or tea! Upgraded with forward-thinking efficiency, there's an eco-conscious heat pump, a hydronic heating system (installed in 2019), and a top-end Home Energy Score of 8. Nestled on a lush 6,390 sq. ft. lot, you'll also find a covered double parking pad complete with an electric vehicle charger. Located near the Tilden Park Golf Course and Lawrence Hall of Science, with access to Cal and Berkeley Northside, this home offers an unparalleled, turnkey lifestyle.
