Tucked amongst the trees, 1270 Queens is a calm retreat from the busy world. With views of SF & GG Bridge from the deck, and a flat front yard & patio, this home is perfect for those seeking a relaxed lifestyle. The level-in entrance draws you into the living room, featuring a beautiful fireplace mantle. With oversized windows on both the eastern and western sides of the room, you can’t help but feel connected to nature. The layout flows directly into the dining area and the tastefully updated kitchen, making entertaining effortless. The kitchen is bright and spacious with a large skylight, loads of counter space & storage. Two comfortable bedrooms share the main floor, as does an updated bathroom with a spa-like tub/shower combo. Downstairs is another large bedroom, full bathroom with laundry and its own exterior entrance. The entire home has been updated with a heat pump mini-split system providing both heat & AC. Unique for Berkeley, this home has a gorgeous stone driveway and structurally-reinforced 2 car garage with a 220V plug ready for a car charger. Amazing amenities such as La Loma Park’s playground and Terrace View Park’s rock climbing are just 2 blocks away. An AC Transit bus stop is a block away where Queens Ave meets Shasta Road making your commute a breeze!

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.
