The forthright beauty of quintessential California Bungalow architecture informs this North Berkeley treasure, in a spectacular garden setting, the ultimate in indoor-outdoor living. Muscular details of the period anchor a luminous, highly functional floor-plan with ease. On the main floor, glorious light bathes the sophisticated living room, warmed by a handsome fireplace wrapped in south-facing windows. The formal dining room is clad in rich wood detailing opening to the professionally designed landscape of decks, terraces and fragrant outdoor rooms. A spacious bedroom, a convenient half bath, a large laundry room, a mudroom, and a pristine kitchen upgraded with practical modernity while preserving its Craftsman heart. Two sets of French doors create an easy indoor/outdoor flow, perfect for entertaining. The professionally designed garden oasis features dining and entertaining areas, bespoke stone walls, magnolia, jasmine, hellebore, herbs, and roses cascading over the terraced levels with views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. Upstairs, you'll find a full bathroom, a second bedroom with picturesque west-facing views, and a third bedroom with an attached sunroom/office or playroom overlooking the garden. Thoughtful upgrades include individual climate controls in the upper-level bedrooms. Just a few blocks from multiple parks, tennis courts, the Rose Garden, and picnics at either Codornices or Live Oak Parks, or head over to the nearby Gourmet Ghetto for shopping, restaurants, and a weekly farmers market for a taste of California cuisine.

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.
