OLD WORLD ELEGANCE and SOPHISTICATION combined with METICULOUS MAINTENANCE and CRAFTMANSHIP describe this calming sanctuary. Enjoy intimate dinners in the very special dining room with real, but tasteful, gold leaf ceiling and the ambiance of a warm fire. Sunlight streams into the expansive living room with subtle bay views and an adjoining garden room. Remodeled kitchen with rich quartz counters and island, rift sawn oak cabinets, stainless appliances with views of the lush garden with majestic redwood tree. Original and new Mahogany woodwork throughout the interior of the public rooms. Four spacious bedrooms including primary bedroom and two tastefully remodeled baths upstairs. Primary bedroom opens to its own balcony with San Francisco and bridge views. Downstairs, you will find the fifth bedroom (au pair, media room or guest quarters) and playfully remodeled bath. Don’t miss the sauna or the workshop, every house must have one! Off the workshop you will find interior access to the spacious garage and wine storage room. During their 50 years of stewardship of this special home the owners have cared for and improved every detail from the tile roofs to seismic upgrades. Perfectly located just a few blocks to Indian Rock and Marin Circle, close by Solano Ave and North Berkeley.

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.
