Remarks

Hidden behind mature trees on a rare, level +/- half acre lot in the North Berkeley Hills, this extraordinary Mid-Century compound feels like a private world unto itself—peaceful, expansive, and deeply connected to nature, yet moments from the energy of Berkeley below. With Golden Gate Bridge views and beautifully landscaped grounds, the 4BD/3.5BA, 3443 sqft main residence plus detached full-service guest apartment offers flexibility and soul in equal measure. Set back from the street beside the Keeler nature path, with beloved Remillard Park feeling like an extension of the property, the home unfolds through gardens, decks, and gathering spaces designed to slow you down and draw you outside. A spacious entry deck welcomes you into interiors where oversized windows frame greenery and Bay views. Inside, rich Mid-Century lines meet subtle Art Deco moments, blending warmth, glamour, and ease. Refinished hardwood floors and recessed lighting span the generous open floorplan, where formal sitting and dining rooms flow naturally into the heart of the home: an expansive kitchen and den wrapped in walls of windows and filled with light. Glass doors open directly to the backyard for seamless indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen balances character and functionality with a carved vintage wo
