As you walk the grounds of this elegant Mediterranean-style home in North Berkeley, notice the olive trees, the cypresses, the lavender and the fountains. The expertly designed garden spaces will transport you to Tuscany while the views of the Golden Gate and the sparkling waters of the Bay will anchor you right where you are, in the North Berkeley foothills and just steps from all the area has to offer. 

Through the grand front door you are greeted with a formal entryway, leading to a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and a large window framing breathtaking views. 

In the dining room, flanked by original built-ins, you can step onto a charming balcony and sip wine while looking at the sunset.

Immediately off the dining room is the epic kitchen, entirely redesigned with top of the line Miele appliances, custom cabinetry and endless counter and cabinet space. From the eat-in kitchen, step onto a beautiful Ipe deck, ideal for enjoying meals with a view while steeped in the privacy and calm of a mature, landscaped yard. 

The main level also features a spacious bedroom, a full, updated bath, and a formal study or office space.

Upstairs, you'll find two en-suite bedrooms, each offering impressive views. The primary suite flows to a magnificently updated bathroom with gorgeous onyx throughout. 

The downstairs boasts an amazing family room and a large bedroom with exterior access (could be ideal as an au-pair). Completing this space, find a full bath and a generous laundry room.

The property comes with an additional detached space, currently staged as a creative studio, which could be a co-working office or rumpus room, providing flexible space to suit your needs.

The home also features a large garage and multiple off-street parking spaces in the extended driveway, as well as very generous storage throughout.

The list of upgrades is long and extensive: from major structural upgrades to cosmetic remodels, all done by well-known local contractors and designers.
