Just above Berkeley’s Gourmet District, 1225 Glen is an extraordinary 5BR/4BA Mid-Century Modern garden oasis–a rare, one-of-a-kind beauty perched above the street and uniquely flexible to gather under one roof. The lovingly maintained 3178 sq ft North Berkeley residence enjoys wide open spaces and expansive picture and casement windows overlooking the San Francisco Bay and Berkeley Rose Garden. Two large sitting areas include a fireplace, open beam ceiling, and bonus room for office or play. Recently refinished wood floors span the house and flow into a spacious dining room with so many windows you feel like you’re outdoors among the exquisite wrap-around gardens. The sunny, oversized kitchen has new appliances and thoughtful amenities of the past, including a laundry chute, and an indoor BBQ with a gorgeous copper hood. Steps down lead to the laundry room, additional storage, a bright bedroom with fireplace, and additional full bath. Up the main staircase with its geometric design, the primary en-suite bedroom has a 360 degree roof deck and views of both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. The main floor has 2 full baths and 3 bedrooms, each with roomy built-in wardrobes. Multiple glass doors lead to terraced gardens. Easy stroll to North Berkeley and University of California.

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.
