Peacefully perched at the corner of La Loma Ave and Virginia St in the highly sought-after Berkeley Hills Northside neighborhood, this sunlit home evokes the feeling of a serene tree house. The open & airy townhouse-style condo is essentially a free-standing home, with only a shared wall in the garage and no HOA dues. The welcoming living room and dining room are bathed in sunlight from morning till dusk. A seeming wall of windows captures beautiful tree-filtered views of many classic Bay Area treasures: San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, UC Berkeley’s Campanile, Oakland, and Alcatraz. The deck spans the length of the front of the home and is a dreamy spot for morning coffee while listening to the springtime chirping of birds, or an evening dinner, enjoying dramatic sunset hues over the Golden Gate. Refinished oak floors and a handsome fireplace flanked by charming built-ins set off the living-room views, creating a restful retreat. A space just off the bedroom is perfect for a cozy second bedroom or office. The prime location offers unbeatable access to North Berkeley shops & fine dining. Only moments from renowned UC Berkeley, providing effortless proximity to campus, this home could also be a highly sought-after rental or pied-à-terre in a peaceful, natural setting.
