On February 15th, 1955, Mr. & Mrs. Manning set out to build their “dream” home in the Berkeley Hills. Little did they know over 6 decades later, this very home would hit the market for the very first time. This rare home offers a mid-century design with a Japanese-influence plus captivating stained glass details that adorn the custom-created elevator allowing ease & comfort for all. Perfect indoor & outdoor living spaces all surrounded by panoramic views & nature set on an expansive lot spanning over 7,000 square feet (per public record) with a private gazebo at the top. In the main home, you'll find an inviting ambiance, custom built-in bookshelves & an open flow between entry, dining, & living areas all silhouetted with the panoramic views of the Bay, San Francisco, GG & Bay Bridges. The kitchen retains its original character while offering modern appliances & fixtures. French doors off the main living & dining space open up to a private patio with the garden as its backdrop. On the entry level you will also find 2 bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private door to the garden & 2 bathrooms with a private laundry area. Descending to the lower level of the home you'll find separate guest quarters that boast 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom with so many possibilities!

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.
