Your peaceful Berkeley Hills oasis; your own private playground - you decide. This charming 3-bedroom, 3-bath bungalow, set back from Shasta Rd. behind a gated entry on a large level-in lot, is optimized for fun, frolic and carefree living. The house is a to-the-studs reno completed less than 10 years ago, including new foundation and systems, refreshed this year with new counters, interior paint and refinished wood floors. The private setting is a larger than expected lot with a spacious front yard, loads of parking inside the gate and a 1-car garage with interior access. Out back, a large level patio right out the kitchen door opens to three terraced levels for all your outdoor interests: gardening, rambunctious play for kids of all ages, and blissful relaxation on the top level, with a full-depth hot tub and room for hammocks and lounging. Step inside to open-concept living: curl up by the fireplace or romantic window seat, or gather ‘round the large kitchen island. The primary en suite and a second bed and full bath share the main level. Downstairs is a 3rd bedroom and full bath, laundry room, storage and access to the garage. Perfect for busy people with a love of the outdoors ... whether at home or at some of Berkeley's most-loved attractions: 3 min to Tilden, 5 min to Cal.

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.
