Home for the holidays! Welcome to 815 Spruce St, a 4 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath North Berkeley beauty. Built in 1923, the home was thoughtfully restored and updated in 2001 and has been meticulously maintained since. You'll be instantly impressed by the generous scale of the rooms, from the wide dining room with original built-ins to the welcoming living room, featuring a gorgeous tiled fireplace surround, and the enormous eat-in kitchen featuring stone countertops, stainless appliances, solid cherry cabinets, and plenty of room for everyone to help prep your holiday meals. West-facing rooms enjoy a partial SF Bay & Bridge view, perfect for post-revelry viewing. Excellent single-level layout, with all bedrooms and baths on the main floor, plus level-in entry from Regal Road. The floorplan was expanded to the lower level in 2001, comprising an additional permitted ~745 sq ft of flexible living space w/separate entrance - family room, office, guest quarters, possible ADU*! Newly fenced and leveled yard area adds to outdoor space and privacy. Mature landscaping, including legacy live oak trees that anchor the corner.

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.
