About this home

This 4710 sq ft home is set on a quiet street in one of Berkeley’s preeminent neighborhoods, on a rare 1/3 acre lot with a spacious yard that extends down to the Brookside cul-de-sac. Entertain guests outside or in the oversized living room, which offers a fireplace and southwest views of SF. The spacious dining room sits adjacent; it is proximate to the well-appointed kitchen, with Wolf and SubZero appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a 32 sq ft island, dual sinks, and distinctive lighting. Enjoy morning coffee in the cheery sun room nearby. Oak hardwoods cover the entire main floor and Sonos ceiling speakers offer one’s choice of music on multiple levels. 4 bedrooms lie on the newly carpeted upstairs floor; the principal suite offers skyline views, a fireplace, a travertine radiant heated bathroom, and a spacious shower illuminated by a skylight. Downstairs from the main floor is the ballroom. The fifth bedroom is also on the lowest level, and it includes a walk-through closet and en-suite bathroom. The main laundry room sits adjacent (another washer-dryer is available upstairs). Plentiful storage space is available on all levels. Tesla roof tiles and Powerwall batteries keep utility costs low, and parking is easy (in the gated driveway or the 2-car garage).

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.
