    What's special

    Gas chef stoveWood burning stoveOpen floor planPassive solar homeTwo decks

    Tranquil woodland home in Berkeley Hills, set right on the edge of a mountain, looking down into Tilden Park. There is nothing like this you've ever lived in before. It's magical. This passive solar home stays amazingly comfortable all months of the year and has a wood burning stove, two decks, open floor plan and direct access to Tilden Park. Kitchen is outfitted with all brand new stainless steel, top-of-the-line appliances w/ gas chef stove. Living here is like having a mountain cabin, right in the Bay Area. My father built this home in the 70's and its an amazing gem. Average commute to UC Berkeley is 20 minutes, average commute to SF is 45 minutes. This home is truly one of a kind. Serious inquiries only please. Home is a large loft with open floor plan and views directly into Tilden Park from atop the Los Altos Dr. ridge. It is a large loft style home meant for 1 bedroom, but can accommodate 2 bedroom areas . Utilities (water/gas/electric) are a flat $300 / mo. 12 month lease Pets allowed, but considered on a case-by-case basis. Fiber internet is available from att and other vendors.
