Property Description

A rare Berkeley Hills legacy home where historic charm meets modern comfort. Originally built in 1926, this Storybook-style residence was intentionally and extensively restored by a Cal alumni, preserving its architectural soul while rebuilding the home for the next century. Designed for multi-generational living, the home features a flexible two-wing layout: one wing offers 3 beds & 2 baths, while the other provides a private 1 bed/1 bath retreat with its own entrance. A ground-level bed & half bath provide ideal accessibility for guests, elders, or an au pair. Set on a 12,839 sf lot with ocean views, the property offers exceptional ADU potential. The chefs kitchen features a Thermador stove/range hood, oversized island & open flow ideal for everyday living & entertaining. Behind the storybook exterior is a near new-build renovation, including a newly poured reinforced foundation with warranty, all-new framing, plumbing, electrical, roof, Marvin windows & dual-zone HVAC. Interior finishes include European oak floors & spa-inspired baths with soaking tubs. Minutes to UC Berkeley, walking distance to Cragmont Rock Park & John Hinkel Park, with close proximity to Tilden Regional Park & miles of scenic hiking trails & just moments from Solano Ave shops, peaceful, private & timeless.
