Property Description

Colonial Revival from 1880 reimagined for the new millennium! While the façade pays homage to classic American architecture (portico, wooden wall cladding, paired windows, grand staircase entry), the interior is a stunning testament to thoughtful modern design. A study in light & spatiality, the main floor boasts dramatic 12 foot ceilings, a sun filtering skylight, and airy floorplan that allows you to see through the house from front to back - truly open concept living. The pièce de résistance is an iconic see-through staircase, a striking feature that ascends to the amply sized sky deck. Enjoy 360 degree panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay & the East Bay skyline atop your home. Perfect for sunbathing, watching sunsets & July 4th fireworks. A darling ADU with level-in separate entry, full kitchen & washer dryer make this a flex space for multi generational living, rental income/Airbnb or au pair quarters. The magical backyard is surrounded by a canopy of foliage offering a verdant peaceful setting. Plenty of space to dine al fresco, BBQ, or throw garden party. With a 99 Walkscore, live mere blocks from UC Berkeley, BART, Equinox, downtown shopping dining theatres & more. Take advantage of all this vibrant cerebral city has to offer.
