Perched gracefully in the Berkeley Hills this exceptional property blends architectural heritage by Henry Higby Gutterson with sweeping vistas of the San Francisco skyline, 3 bridges and 7 counties. Striking high-beamed ceilings in the Arts and Crafts style lend an airy grand ambiance. A custom designed upper level office/sanctuary maximizes the already amazing views. Back down to earth, main floor living can’t be over emphasized. This home is accessible through a level in entry and all main living areas plus 2 bedrooms and 2 baths are on the 1st floor. The lower level bonus space is a studio apartment with a full bath, electric kitchen and it’s own private entrance to the gated back garden is perfectly suited for an au pair, extended family or income generation. The gently sloping lot provides privacy from the street with it’s lush landscaping and meandering paths. The long driveway and 2 car garage offer modern day ease of use. All just minutes away from iconic hiking and recreation in Berkeley’s Tilden Park and more urban pursuits in the famous North Berkeley Gourmet District. You truly can have it all!
