Tucked behind terraced gardens and set just below the street, this storybook home offers a sense of privacy from the moment you arrive. Open the front door and your eyes are naturally drawn through French doors to sweeping views of San Francisco and the sparkling bay. Though petite in size, the home lives with warmth and intention. The living room feels open and inviting with a vaulted ceiling, cozy fireplace, and easy connection to the outdoors and a dining nook. Step onto the spacious deck, an ideal place for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or simply watching the fog roll across the bay. The kitchen offers plenty of countertop space, storage, and a gorgeous view while you do your dishes. The main level is rounded out by a comfortable bedroom and full bath, while downstairs offers flexibility for the way you live now: finished space for a home office, a second full bathroom, laundry, and a bonus nook ready to become whatever you need it to be. This level also offers access to the backyard garden where you’ll find fruit trees, a patio and a peaceful space to place your hammock. Extra storage is found in the detached garage at the street level. Just a quick trip down the hill to North Berkeley’s restaurants and shops and the UC Berkeley campus, 734 Keeler Avenue is the Berkeley Hills retreat you’ve been dreaming of! HER score 4.

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.
