About this home

Pinch yourself as this house spins together the perfect wish list; location, views, light, space, open concept, great kitchen, and perfect yard. The sublime unobstructed views of the GG Bridge, SF, & the Bay Bridge can be enjoyed from nearly every room on the top two floors. The open floor plan and many doors to the deck make this an easy entertainer. The Carrara marble-clad kitchen has got your back with double ovens, a five-burner Thermadore cooktop, and copious cabinetry. The primary retreat has a large private deck offering the best view around. Even the en-suite bath enjoys a bay view. The room is large, but the fireplace and Capiz chandelier keep it romantic. The walk-in closet has us gobsmacked. What's a dream without a dream wardrobe? The kicker, this room is so private you can practically keep all the curtains open, even if you don't have a stitch to wear. Meet your ideal home office. The den can keep you connected while your desk faces the view. If you need more privacy, a second office with its own entrance is on the garden level. The Au pair level offers income potential and is fitted with a 2nd kitchen, bedroom, full bath, and bunk room. The flat yard grants space to play, a vegetable garden, a lemon tree, and drought-tolerant perennials.

R-1H

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.
