Built in 1975 as the personal residence of its architect, 10 Northgate offers a perfect blend of timeless design, privacy and gorgeous views. Step in and be greeted by soaring high ceilings that create a light-filled atmosphere throughout the home. The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned to provide a stunning view of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the living and dining open concept create a contemporary feel reminiscent of California mid-century architecture with a 1970’s twist. On this level, find two bedrooms (one with its own private deck), one full bathroom and a powder room. From the living room, enjoy the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the indoor-outdoor flow seamlessly integrated, as you step into the expansive deck, with room for dining, lounging or playing on the turf. Wake up looking at the Bay from the primary, en-suite bedroom and from it, step right into the outdoors. The property is surrounded by greenery, from the meticulously landscaped front yard to the orchard and raised beds in the back (figs, apples, Meyer lemons and more). Convenient storage is provided by a newly built shed. Enjoy the serenity of living in nature while being just about 6 minutes away from all that North Berkeley has to offer; restaurants, markets, shops and transportation.

Nice location tucked away in the hills has good reviews of the north bay. Seems to have some original details still in place though could use refreshing throughout. The back yard has a deck from the end of the house to the fenceline.

Single Family Residential District - Hillside Overlay Zone
The purpose of the Single-Family Residential (R-1) district is to: Recognize and protect the existing pattern of development in the low-density, single-family residential areas of the city consistent with the General Plan; Make housing available for persons who desire detached housing and a relatively large amount of usable open space; Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air; and Permit community facilities such as religious assembly uses, schools, parks, and libraries which serve the local population and are not detrimental to the immediate neighborhood.; The purpose of the Hillside (H) overlay zone is to: implement General Plan policies for hillside development; protect the safety and health of residents where steep topography, unusual street conditions and proximity to the wildland-urban interface create severe risk from wildfire; protect the character of Berkeley's hillside areas and their immediate environs; give reasonable protection to views yet allow appropriate development of all property; and allow modifications in standard setback and height requirements when justified because of steep topography, irregular lot pattern, unusual street conditions, or other special aspects of the hillside areas.
