ENCHANTING AND ELEGANT This extraordinary 1927 Spanish Revival is a rare and wonderful find from another era, with storybook architectural details, layers of lovely gardens and spectacular views. Set on a quiet street in the Berkeley hills, its considerable charm is apparent from its street presence.A wooden deck in the corner is ideal for enjoying the view, accompanied by sounds of birdsong and the fountain.On the tower side of the house is a guest quarters/au pair suite with a separate entrance that has a fairy-tale feel. Inside, steps off the handsome foyer, is a grand living room, with soaring curved ceilings and a dramatic oversized arched window that frames the fabulous view of downtown Oakland and San Francisco. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with high end appliances, a stainless farmhouse sink, quartz counters.

R-1H

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.
