Where can you find Bay views and away-from-it-all serenity, yet still be a stone’s throw from the UC campus and all that downtown Berkeley has to offer? Come see this nature-lover’s paradise: an Eichler-inspired MidCentury 3/2.5, steps from Tilden Park and miles of hiking trails, and walkable to the Lawrence Hall of Science. Inside, the open-space floorplan is bathed in natural light through all-new windows and glass doors, with gleaming hardwood floors flowing seamlessly to front and rear redwood decks for maximum indoor-outdoor flow. Outside is a gardener’s Eden, with raised organic beds, fruit trees and berries, flowers and herbs for all seasons, and drip irrigation. Custom design touches include a handcrafted zinc bar top, custom stone fireplace and kitchen and bath updates, with two bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths above the main floor. The separate-entry, walk-out lower level provides a 3rd bedroom, full bath and studio-style living space including a kitchenette. Over a decade-plus in residence, the owners imbued this home with an eco-friendly mindset, incorporating natural, organic and low-VOC upgrades to ensure sustainable comfort. New gas furnace and ducting were added in the past year. Registered as a short-term rental with the City of Berkeley.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
