Redfin agents who toured
The views were ridiculous.
There are plenty of homes with nice views. This one had the kind of panoramic views that make you stop what you’re doing and stare for a minute.
The layout took advantage of the setting, and the private downstairs patio...
was a nice surprise. It felt tucked away from the rest of the house and gave the property another outdoor space to enjoy.
The finishes were clean and well done, but honestly, I kept getting distracted by what was outside the windows.
Some houses have views. This house was built around them.

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.
