Classic, four-bedroom, two bath, sun-filled mid-century home with stunning panoramic North Bay views, tasteful updates throughout, an exceptionally practical and versatile floor plan, and a glorious backyard. Designed for comfortable, easy living, with a level-in entry, a perfect balance of openness and separation, three bedrooms on the main level, and a two-car garage with interior access. The spacious, light-filled lower level, with a bedroom, full bath, and great room, and both interior and exterior access, is the perfect guest suite, primary retreat, home office, or au pair. Among the home’s highlights is a beautiful and expansive, fully fenced backyard with 2 decks, one a view-deck, off the dining room, with stairs to the yard, and a second, platform-style deck. Groomed but not fussy, the exceptional backyard delights with meandering pathways, patios, fruit trees, grape vines, Calla lilies, rose bushes, mature plantings, and a partial Bay view. Additional features include gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint in and out, a lovely kitchen, two zone heating and a large basement storage area. Although 2729 Del Monte exudes serenity, it is close to many amenities, including Berkeley Country Club, public transit, AC and BART, Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, and Arlington Market.
