*OPEN HOUSE CANCELED* Perched high in the coveted Berkeley Hills, 708 Grizzly Peak Blvd is more than just a home—it’s a front-row seat to the best views in the Bay Area. This isn't a sterile flip; it’s a loving renovation that breathes new life into a classic space while keeping its soul intact. The heart of the home is a magnificent open-concept great room where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly over warm hardwood floors. It’s the kind of space designed for slow Saturday mornings and lively dinner parties alike, all framed by breathtaking vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, and the shimmering expanse of the water below. Tucked away for quieter moments is a charming reading nook and office, complete with its own private fireplace and direct access to a beautiful deck—the perfect spot to lose yourself in a book or watch the fog roll through the Golden Gate. The layout offers a thoughtful separation of space. Upstairs, you’ll find two generous bedrooms served by a vintage-inspired 1940s-style tile bathroom that radiates character. The lower level features three additional large bedrooms, providing plenty of flexibility for guests, a gym, or creative studios, as well as ample storage and a dedicated laundry area. Step outside to find a sprawling yard just waiting for a gardener’s touch. Whether you envision a lush vegetable patch or a tiered flower garden, there is plenty of room to roam. When you aren't soaking in the views from your deck, you’re just moments away from the wild beauty of Tilden Park and the vibrant shops and world-class dining that make Berkeley so iconic. This is Hills living at its most authentic and inviting. BESO score is 3.

Redfin agents who toured
The views did not mess around.
The corner lot gave the house a more open feel, and the San Francisco skyline seemed to find its way into the conversation no matter where I was standing.
I liked that the kitchen had already been updated, but not...
every room had been remodeled. It felt like a nice balance between move-in ready and still having room to make it your own.

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.
