Atop the Berkeley Hills on Grizzly Peak, this MidCentury sanctuary blends timeless elegance, eco-friendly upgrades, and breathtaking views of Berkeley, Oakland and the South Bay. Perched above the fog line, watch the fog roll in and retreat like the ocean tide – a vantage unique to this location. Nature lovers will revel in proximity to Tilden Park, scenic hiking trails and the Lawrence Hall of Science, yet just moments from downtown Berkeley. The Eichler-inspired open-space interior is bathed in natural light through all-new windows and glass doors. Gleaming hardwood floors flow seamlessly to front and rear redwood decks for maximum indoor-outdoor flow. A handcrafted zinc bar top, custom stone fireplace and kitchen and bath updates add touches of sophistication, while a preference toward natural, organic and low-VOC upgrades (like organic wool insulation) ensures sustainable comfort. Lush front and rear gardens round out a true oasis, with seasonal blooms, organic raised beds, fruit trees, and low-maintenance drip irrigation. The lower-level is a separate-entry in-law studio, registered as a short-term rental, adding income potential to refined living.
