Perched in the Berkeley Hills, this iconic A-frame is a light-filled retreat where mid-century soul meets thoughtful modern updates. Walls of glass soar to the dramatic peaked gable, framing breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline, the Bay, and both bridges—sunsets here are unforgettable. Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and exposed beams crown an open living, dining, and kitchen great room. The remodeled kitchen pairs warm wood cabinetry with stainless appliances, a farmhouse sink, glass-tile backsplash, and a live-edge breakfast bar. Warm oak floors flow throughout, while a sunlit loft opens to the room below behind sleek cable railings. Two serene bedrooms—one with its own view—a spa-inspired bath with oversized tile and glass-enclosed shower, and a flexible desk/den nook complete the interior. Glass doors open to an expansive wraparound deck with lounge areas, custom planters, and endless views, all wrapped in lush greenery. A finished 185 sq ft bonus room makes an ideal office or studio, plus covered off-street parking. As efficient as it is beautiful, the home earns a perfect Home Energy Score of 10. Moments to Solano Avenue shops, Tilden Park, and an easy commute—a rare design-forward escape in one of the East Bay's most coveted hillside settings.
