The Berkeley Sky Lair! Perched in the North Berkeley Hills with commanding vistas of the San Francisco Bay, this sleek & handsome stunner is an absolute standout. The ultra modern architecture features 2 phantom glass walls, that can seemingly disappear into thin air. This seamless integration of the chef’s kitchen & elegant living room with the outdoor lounge and alfresco dining make this an entertainer’s dream. Top floor consists of 2 sun drenched ensuite bedrooms, one with fireplace & private sky deck patio with collapsible glass panel sliding doors, and the other bedroom features a wall that vanishes before your eyes. The ground floor boasts an expansive family/media room & 3rd ensuite bedroom with separate entrance, perfect for Airbnb & visiting guests. Massive rear outdoor terrace is made for hosting soirées, BBQs or simply stargazing. Everything about this house was created to maximize the 180 degree panoramas on each floor. Jaw-dropping views span 5 counties from Mt Tam to Golden Gate Bridge to The Peninsula. An executive den (possible 4th bedroom) is perfect WFH office. A level-in driveway leading to a two car side by side parking garage is extremely rare in historic neighborhoods. Prime location minutes to UC Berkeley, Solano Ave, Gourmet Ghetto, Tilden Park & more!

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.
