About this home

Villa on the Hill! This beautiful 4++ bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is located in one of Berkeley's most desirable neighborhoods on one of the city's largest and best double lots (a third of an acre!). Set back from the street, this villa-style jewel offers stunning Bay, City, and Bridge views, with a large sunny front deck perfect for entertaining or relaxing with a Wow factor! Breathtaking sunsets and iconic views of the Golden Gate Bridge are just the begining. Inside, warm wood paneling and floors add character to spacious living/ dining rooms. The cozy fireplace enhances the atmosphere, while the open layout flows to outdoor decks and patios, ideal for California-style living. The kitchen is fresh and functional, ready to inspire meals enjoyed inside or al fresco. Flexible floor plan -2 large bedrooms, a spacious office and 1.5 bathrooms on the main floor. Then upstairs another 2 BRs, an 'extra' room staged for play, and a full BA. A basement for laundry, storage and hobbies. Plus 2-car garage, workshop space, and extra parking, this home is a rare find. The enormous double lot offers endless possibilities-an urban farm? ADU? second home?-buyer to verify.

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.
