Property Description
The 'Mouser Parson House' is believed to be the first house to be built on Panoramic Hill with alterations made by John Hudson Thomas in the early 1900's. This lovely redwood clad craftsman has gorgeous period details and a storied history. Sited on an oversized lot on the lower portion of Panoramic hill it spans the hillside with a detached garage and swath of land up to the east. The interior is walled in board and batten redwood panels, box beam ceilings, artisan mica-shaded light fixtures, useful built-ins, charming window seats and Bay/GG views. Two fireplaces adorn the home, in the living room and first floor library which hosted remarkable naturalists, John Muir, Ansel Adams and founders of the Sierra Club. Located on lower Panoramic Hill with the best of both worlds: close to incredible hiking trails, both Downtown Berkeley & Elmwood commercial districts as well as the University campus. An exceptional opportunity to be the next caretaker of such a treasured place in time!

ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
