Welcome to this custom North Berkeley Hills contemporary 2 bedroom/2 bathroom residence. Architect owned and designed to optimize natural light and panoramic views, the home epitomizes the '70s architectural principles of simplicity and a great flow, and the mid-century ideals of bringing the outdoors in. Floor-to-ceiling windows, an open floor plan, and a seating area reminiscent of a 1950s conversation pit all add to this home’s feeling of serenity and functionality. On the first level, find two bedrooms, one with a versatile open layout, each with its own en-suite bathroom and access to a private deck. Downstairs, the living room boasts over 15 foot ceilings and the dining area is surrounded by practical built-ins. Both spaces open to the main deck to sweeping views of the Bay, City and the Golden Gate. The updated kitchen has been designed to maximize counter space and views and has access to a side deck, an ideal BBQ spot. Completing this level is a spacious laundry and storage room. A few steps down, the mature and lush landscaped backyard is a blend of vibrant colors, serene seating areas and a flourishing vegetable garden. Outside, a covered carport includes additional storage. This home feels like a retreat, yet it is a mere 5m drive to all North Berkeley amenities.

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.
