NO OPEN HOUSE THIS WEEKEND 10/24. A Front-Row Seat to the Bay: The Quintessential Berkeley Hills View Home Perched in the very heart of the Berkeley Hills, 155 Avenida Drive is a masterclass in hillside living. This isn’t just a residence; it’s a vantage point. Designed to celebrate its central, sought-after location, the home serves as a sophisticated gallery for the panoramic vistas that define Northern California. From the golden hues of sunset to the sparkling lights across the water, the ever-changing skyline is the backdrop to daily life, creating an atmosphere that is both grand and deeply serene. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the interiors seamlessly extend the landscape, with light dancing across gleaming hardwood floors that run throughout the home. The main level is designed for both productivity and connection, featuring a room that could serve as an office for quiet focus. The gorgeous living room with fireplace is the heart of the home and flows effortlessly to an expansive view deck, accessible from both the living and dining rooms. The living and dining rooms, with their exquisite wood walls, reflect its 1940 build date, and the house has been meticulously cared for, so period details abound while still meeting modern buyers' needs. The sliding glass doors make it easy to transition from an elegant dinner to an evening under the stars. Upstairs, the nice-sized bedrooms offer restful retreats, each positioned to capture the unique character of the hills. The home's versatility is further enhanced by an expansive downstairs living space. Complete with its own separate entrance, a convenient kitchenette, and a full bathroom, this level offers incredible flexibility for a variety of uses (please note, it is not permitted as a separate legal unit). It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Berkeley Hills that feels both tucked away and perfectly positioned at the center of it all. Home Energy Score: 3
La Loma Park, located between Shattuck Avenue and Euclid Avenue, is a hillside and residential Berkeley neighborhood with winding stair streets and canyon greenery. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rose Garden and Euclid Avenue, where café patios, small markets, and campus-bound foot traffic set a steady daytime hum. Spanish Revival and Craftsman homes step up the slopes, with frequent bay-view glimpses between mature trees. Codornices Creek and its paths shape the terrain, linking pocket parks and quiet overlooks. Community pillars include Berkeley Rose Garden, the UC Theatre Taube Family Music Hall, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA).

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.
