A rare opportunity to restore a beloved Berkeley Hills home that has remained in the same family since 1940. Built in 1938, this 3 BD 2+ BA sits on a generous 6,750 SF upslope lot in one of Berkeley's most desirable neighborhoods, offering Bay views, character and exceptional potential. Inside, you'll find surprisingly level floors and beautiful original random-plank hardwood flooring, along with touches of its Art Deco heritage. The interior has been well cared for, making it easy to appreciate the home's solid bones and envision its next chapter. A functioning elevator provides access from the garage to both living levels—an uncommon feature that offers convenience and long-term flexibility. It's easy to imagine opening the kitchen, dining, and living spaces to better capture the partial Bay views and create the kind of light-filled great room so many seek. Just a few doors away is beloved Remillard Park, with lawns and dramatic rock outcroppings and is popular with climbers, children and dogs. It is one of Berkeley Hills' hidden gems. The home is livable and benefits from a recently redone roof but is being sold in its present condition and will require significant updating, including foundation work and replacement of older systems. The front stairs and garage need repair / rebuilding, offering the next owner the opportunity to comprehensively restore and modernize this special fixer. With its generous lot, original character, random-plank floors, working elevator, partial Bay views, and outstanding location near Remillard Park and North Berkeley amenities, this is a rare chance to create an exceptional home in one of Berkeley's most treasured neighborhoods.

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.
