Description

Quarter-acre wonderland just 3 blocks from Solano Ave

Your first glimpse of this stunning property is of a wooden bridge spanning a dry creek that meanders through a glorious garden glen framed by stately redwoods, gorgeous specimen trees, and native plants. These amazing grounds surround a classic 1920s Mediterranean home that has been cherished by one family since 1969. Luxuriate in a wonderland of dappled light, abundant sunshine, and the peacefulness that only nature can provide.

This classic 4-bedroom / 2-bath home is truly a sanctuary where you can get away from it all. But you’ll want to share it… it’s made for entertaining! The social spaces have unusually generous proportions and lovely details, including graceful floor-to-ceiling arched windows, matchstick oak floors, tray ceilings, and a handsome fireplace. The dining room can easily handle large formal dinner parties, casual pot-lucks, and family gatherings. Sliding doors open to a sunny patio–a perfect spot for morning coffee or a lazy afternoon nap. The eat-in-kitchen has a sweet breakfast bay, plenty of counter and cabinet space, and a handy laundry closet. Out back is a sunny kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit trees. Three bedrooms and a full bath border the main hallway. The primary bedroom, with its generous closet space, easily fits a king-size bed. The fourth bedroom is tucked away with an ensuite bathroom, perfect for guests.

Enjoy the best of Berkeley’s beloved Thousand Oaks neighborhood and the abundance of cafés, restaurants, grocery stores, and shops on bustling Solano Avenue.

Don’t miss this incomparable property in a stellar location!

Berkeley Hills

Spectacular bay views, ample trees, and impressive homes, one of the most desirable places in East Bay.

Welcome to Berkeley Hills

With its spectacular bay views, ample trees, and impressive homes, the Berkeley Hills is one of the most desirable places to live in the East Bay.
 
Architecturally, it's a rich smorgasbord of Craftsman bungalows, ranch houses, Italian-style villas, Spanish farmhouses, and Tudor manors. (The neighborhoods around Southampton Avenue are particularly abundant in period revival architecture.) Renowned 20th-century architects such as Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, and John Galen Howard made contributions here, imbuing the landscape with a sense of history and permanence.
 
Although there is little in the way of commercial businesses in the hills, an extensive network of pathways and staircases link hills residents to amenities in North Berkeley. Hills residents also have access to numerous parks and green spaces. Locals can often be found rock climbing at Indian Rock Park, enjoying Bernard Maybeck's fragrant Rose Walk, or picnicking at the Berkeley Rose Garden, considered by many to be the finest rose garden in Northern California.
 
Other area favorites include the UC Botanical Garden and the Lawrence Hall of Science, where children can enjoy hands-on educational activities. Tilden Park, which has a delightful merry-go-round and steam train, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of the East Bay park system.
 
When the fog rolls in off the Pacific, shrouding the hillside in a mysterious mist, no place else feels more tranquil or transporting.
