Cape Cod style meets Dwell magazine AND it is a successful match! Front of the home has ornate ironwork and a level grass front yard. The interior of home is where this stylish rehab really comes to light. Updated chef’s kitchen provides plenty of counter and storage space to prepare Instagram worthy meals. The dining area is gracious enough to deliver a spectacular view of the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate and Mount Tam. If that does not inspire noteworthy dinner conversation – what else does one need? The large family room has refinished wood floors, fireplace and a huge bay window to frame your Bay view. Hardwood floors upstairs and 3 generously-sized bedrooms and 2 updated baths. The principal bedroom has an ensuite – creating a spa-like setting.
The deck off the kitchen is sizable enough to accommodate the whole dinner party with dead-on views – yet cozy and private enough to feel secluded in your own outdoor experience. Stairs off the deck lead to a substantial yard, with grass, fruit trees plus plenty of additional storage in the standup-height basement area. There is a garage and driveway for off-street parking. Dorothy Bolte Park is a short distance away – and features one of the best slides in the Bay Area. The plethora of trails in Tilden Park is downright inspirational and only moments away. Cragmont Elementary School* is also in the neighborhood.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Perched above the city and offering the best panoramic views in the entire Bay Area, North Berkeley Hills is an incredibly peaceful residential neighborhood, yet not far from the hustle and bustle of the city’s more urban areas. Homes in the neighborhood are built in a variety of styles and feature spacious patio decks, manicured lawns and lushly landscaped gardens. Depending on where you live, North Berkeley Hills residents can enjoy views of the San Francisco and Oakland skylines, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and Mount Tamalpais. For even more great views plus a variety of great outdoor activities, residents can take a short trip to nearby Tilden Regional Park. Park amenities vary between free and paid activities. Free activities available at TIlden Park include a beautiful botanical garden, the Little Farm, and nearly 40 miles of scenic hiking trails. For a small fee, the public can also swim at Lake Anza, take a spin on the Merry-Go-Round, or enjoy a round of golf at Tilden Park Golf Course. Some residents in the southern part of North Berkeley Hills are within walking distance of the thriving retail district on Solano Avenue. Featuring a wide variety of stores, shops, and plenty of great restaurants, including: Safeway Community Markets: Located at the southwest corner of Solano and Fresno Avenues, this is a great place to check off everything on your grocery list. Noor & Sons Rug Gallery: Find handcrafted Oriental Rugs for your home, as well as rug cleaning and repair services. Peet’s Coffee: It all started in Berkeley, and this location is ideal for your morning cup of coffee before you begin your commute. Additionally, foodies who love a variety of cuisines are just a short walk or drive away from the infamous Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood. Despite its elevated location, North Berkeley Hills is extremely transit-friendly. The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District bus lines that serve the neighborhood drop residents at the Downtown Berkeley BART station for a quick commute to downtown San Francisco. Berkeley Hills residents who live near the western section of the neighborhood are less than one mile away from the heart of UC Berkeley, making it a great area for faculty and administrators to live.
