    Enchanting Mediterranean with Views of the Bay

    This lovely three-bedroom two and one-half bath home, reminiscent of the Spanish Mediterranean style, includes many striking details.  Situated on a sunny corner plot in North Berkeley and benefitting from a detached casita, this home is unique and special! A family room provides a wonderful space to share evenings watching movies, and a light-filled kitchen overlooks the outdoor courtyard. There is a bonus room with a separate entrance on the lower level, and a 2-car garage with access from inside the house. Level in entry to the home from Santa Barbara Road and a detached, romantic and charming casita faces the courtyard and the lovely views across the Bay, and provides a cozy, private guesthouse. *

    Impressive period details throughout the home include magnificently chiseled doors with stenciled inset panels and beams, bas-reliefs, wrought iron elements and stained glass windows. Tastefully refinished walnut-colored wood floors lend warmth and updated style to this handsome home. The sumptuous, hand-painted doors open from the formal dining room onto the living room, which boasts beautiful, high ceilings and views toward San Francisco, the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges.

    Situated in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood, this special home with its adjacent guest house is moments away from Shattuck Avenue and the Solano Avenue corridor, with its abundance of shops and restaurants, and all modes of transportation.

    *Agent has not verified the status of the guest house as including a sleeping room. 
    Neither Listing Agent nor Seller has been able to verify with the city, neither permit status nor zoning approved use.

     

    Neighborhood

    North Berkeley

    Perched above the city and offering some of the most sweeping panoramic views in the entire Bay Area, the quiet, residential North Berkeley Hills neighborhood offers peace and solitude not far from the hustle and bustle of the city’s more urban areas. 

    Homes in the neighborhood are built in a variety of styles. Some homes are hidden from the road by large trees, while others offer views of the San Francisco and Oakland skylines, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and Mount Tamalpais. North Berkeley Hills backs up against Tilden Regional Park, which offers numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation all year long.

    Some residents in the southern part of North Berkeley Hills are within walking distance from the thriving retail district on Solano Avenue and Shattuck Avenue, though those who live at higher elevations are only moments from everything, but may likely need to drive down the hill. Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District bus lines that serve the neighborhood drop residents at the Downtown Berkeley BART station for a quick commute to downtown San Francisco.
