Go ahead and pinch yourself as this house spins together the perfect wish list; location, views, light, space, open concept, great kitchen, perfect yard, and the list goes on…. The sublime unobstructed views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, and the Bay Bridge are real, and you can enjoy them from nearly every room on the top two floors. Your gonna want to share this view, and luckily the open floor plan and many doors that unfurl onto the deck make this an easy entertainer. The Carrara marble-clad kitchen has got your back with double ovens, a five-burner Thermadore cooktop, and copious cabinetry. With a breakfast bar and a circular floor plan, revelers who congregate in the kitchen can’t confine the cook.
Do you like to retreat after a good party? How about weaving a utopian primary suite, where even the en-suite bath enjoys a bay view? This one has a large private deck offering the best view around. The room is large, but the fireplace and Capiz chandelier keep it romantic. The view and the room amenities would be enough to keep this one on our top ten list, but then the closet has us gobsmacked. What’s a dream without a place for a dream wardrobe? The kicker, this room is so private you can practically keep all the curtains open, even if you don’t have a stitch to wear.
This fantastic tapestry is designed for living your best life, so let’s not stop there. You probably also want a flat useful yard with space to play, a vegetable garden, and let’s throw in a lemon tree and drought-tolerant perennials for good measure. It is rare and wonderful to find a house with stunning views and a great yard.
With world-class views, who’d leave the house? Meet your ideal home office. The den is open to the living room and can keep you connected while your desk faces the view. If you need a bit more privacy to get work done, there is a second office with its own entrance on the garden level.
A full life often includes extended family, au pairs, or just extra income potential. The lower level is fully fitted with a second kitchen, bedroom, full bath, bunk room, and separate entrance. It also makes an excellent hangout for teens and impromptu sleepover parties.
Knits and pearls include an updated kitchen, three-and-a-half updated baths, two large decks with beautiful glass railings, a two-car carport with an EV Charger, lots of storage space, and award-worthy draught-tolerant landscaping.
One last flourish of sandman dust: High enough up the hill to enjoy stellar views, this home is surprisingly walkable. Perched just above Alice Water’s famed gourmet district, the lifestyle includes easy accessibility to the best of Berkeley with walking paths, bike routes, and public transportation galore. Our favorite walk takes you down the pathway from nearby Indian Rock Park to the top of Solano Avenue. Wipe the sleep from the corner of your eyes, this dream can be yours!
