Description

The easy flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces give this mid century charmer a calming treehouse vibe. Set among the treetops, Tilden Park and the the UC trails frame its neighborhood, yet all that Berkeley has to offer is within minutes. Pick a few lemons as you come in through the garden. Drop the goodies you picked up at the Farmers Market in the kitchen and look out at the view of the Bay. You’re in a world class city, but you can’t see another house nearby. Take dinner out on to the deck...The easy flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces give this mid century charmer a calming treehouse vibe. Set among the treetops, Tilden Park and the the UC trails frame its neighborhood, yet all that Berkeley has to offer is within minutes. Pick a few lemons as you come in through the garden. Drop the goodies you picked up at the Farmers Market in the kitchen and look out at the view of the Bay. You’re in a world class city, but you can’t see another house nearby. Take dinner out on to the deck or out to the sheltered patio. Or on cool evenings, settle in front of the fireplace. The main level features the living spaces with a unique fireplace, a spacious dining area, sliding doors to the patio, double doors to the deck, plus two bedrooms, a bath, the kitchen, and the “hub,“ the butcher block peninsula that is the heart of the home. The generous primary bedroom has ample space for a workstation, a workout area, or a reading nook. The second bedroom is perfect for family, guests, or working from home. Downstairs features a bed and bath with its own entrance, plus a workshop for your projects and enough storage to keep your toys neatly tucked away. End your day watching the sunset on the deck. Linger while the stars come out over the Bay. Sound like heaven? It is. Welcome home.
