About this property
Hidden behind mature trees on a rare, level +/- half acre lot in the North Berkeley Hills, this extraordinary Mid-Century compound feels like a private world unto itself-peaceful, expansive, and deeply connected to nature, yet moments from the energy of Berkeley below. With Golden Gate Bridge views and beautifully landscaped grounds, the 4BD/3.5BA, 3443 sqft main residence plus detached full-service guest apartment offers flexibility and soul in equal measure. Set back from the street beside the Keeler nature path, with beloved Remillard Park feeling like an extension of the property, the home unfolds through gardens, decks, and gathering spaces designed to slow you down and draw you outside. A spacious entry deck welcomes you into interiors where oversized windows frame greenery and Bay views. Inside, rich Mid-Century lines meet subtle Art Deco moments, blending warmth, glamour, and ease. Refinished hardwood floors and recessed lighting span the generous open floorplan, where formal sitting and dining rooms flow naturally into the heart of the home: an expansive kitchen and den wrapped in walls of windows and filled with light. Glass doors open directly to the backyard for seamless indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen balances character and functionality with a carved vintage wood island, new appliances, dual sinks, and updated countertops. Outside, the grounds invite dinner parties beneath the trees, afternoons on the lawn, or evenings on the rooftop deck watching the light shift over the Bay. The main level also includes a powder room, generous laundry and mudroom with sink and storage, and two large bedroom suites, each with full baths and flexible space for sitting areas or home offices. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath and open to a rooftop deck with sweeping views. Above the garage, the detached 617 sqft guest studio apartment offers its own full kitchen and bathroom plus deck, views, and new appliances, creating ideal flexibility for guests, extended family, office use, or income potential. A two-car garage and two parking pads provide abundant off-street parking. Recent upgrades include a new electrical panel and new ductwork throughout the primary residence. Step outside to Berkeley's famed parks and pathways, or head minutes down the hill to UC Berkeley, world-class dining, arts, and culture. This is a property that feels both tucked away and deeply connected-a true Berkeley retreat. BESO Compliant, Energy Score: 5
