A romantic front garden sets the stage for an impressive entrance, ascending to a front porch on a gently sloped parcel. Spacious dining room and kitchen with custom updates infused with artisanal elements sourced from Indonesia, concrete countertops and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. A cozy built-in breakfast nook invites serene moments while overlooking the peaceful and landscaped garden, which can be a quite retreat. The main level also includes a bedroom, full bath, and an office providing upmost functionality. Upstairs, the strategically positioned living room captures Bay views from an expansive deck. A grand fireplace takes center stage, adjoined by a cozy TV and reading enclave. Two additional bedrooms with lofty ceilings and ample storage, plus a sunlit and inviting office space that opens to a garden oasis, complete with a Japanese soaking tub and zen-like patio. Detached is the convenient and oversized 1-car garage with a workshop area and plenty of storage solutions—a true gem in the coveted Berkeley Hills near trails and Tilden Park, Solano shopping, restaurants & UC.
