Mid-Century magic with a sunny disposition & bright outlook on the Bay, 1390 Summit is the peak of Berkeley Hills living. Summit Road is indeed the apex with Tilden at its back and the Bay at its feet. Showcasing most of its original Mid-century Modern virtues from slate flagstones to warm wood paneling to classic light fixtures to the bathroom complete with robin’s egg blue matching tub, toilet, and sink. Exposed wood ceilings & rafters. Hardwood floors. Fireplace. Spacious open floor plan with fantastic updated kitchen. Step out to the upper deck from the kitchen or the living room - a great spot to feel the sun and listen to the birds by day, and for dinner al fresco when the sunsets are spectacular. You might even hear an owl. There are two lower decks, the one off the primary bedroom even has a cedar hot tub where there, too, is a peek of the Bay. Plenty of opportunity to garden in the side yard with its raised beds, fully-fenced so you don’t have to share your veggies with the deer. The garage, with its fabulous wide-plank wood floors seems better suited as an art studio. A perfect perch above it all while still being in the mix - Tilden trails across the street, Lawrence Hall of Science and UC Berkeley down the road, and all that Berkeley has to offer just down the hill!

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.
