Exceptional views make this Berkeley home distinctive. Enter to the centerpiece of the home, the expansive living room/dining room, nearly 450 square feet in all.

A fireplace wards off winter chill, and residents and guests will be transfixed by the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows: the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Tamalpais and southern Marin County, Angel Island, Alcatraz, San Francisco and the Bay. The views are unobstructed by any telephone poles or electrical wires. Refinished hardwoods cover the premises throughout. The kitchen, with Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, sits adjacent, along with a breakfast nook for casual dining. It offers access to the well-tended backyard garden and courtyard. Two bedrooms (one with garden views, the other with Bay and bridge views) are upstairs, each with a bathroom (one en-suite, the other with a tub/spa). The primary bedroom and en-suite bath are found past a quiet sitting room, down a short flight of stairs. The highly rated Cragmont Elementary School is conveniently located just down the street. A two-car garage makes parking easy, and it’s just a 10-minute drive down the hill to the UC Berkeley campus and a vibrant selection of local restaurants, shops, parks, and more.
