Remarks

First time on-market in decades, this classic Park Hills treasure is preserved to perfection. The upgrades and features truly compliment the 1930’s & 40’s architecture unique to this Berkeley Hills neighborhood. You’ll certainly appreciate the wood casement dual pane windows, ceilings that gently extend beyond 8ft, pristine hardwood floors throughout, and a backyard that can best be described as a “secret garden.” The foyer, living room, & formal dining converge into a cozy yet grand living space, complete with mantled fireplace and crown molding. The kitchen is as charming as they come with the perfect breakfast nook framed by a bay window with soothing views. But wait, there’s more...The 4th bedroom has its own exterior access, full bathroom, and kitchenette (aka an apartment or ADU?). Upgrades include solar, electrical service, drainage, central heating, recessed lighting, and a BESO score of 10/10. Fire hardening and sewer upgrade is in-progress. The main house is primarily a single story with a sheltered front porch, English garden sunroom, a laundry/mud room, 2-car garage, and basement workshop. Lastly, walk your pup in any direction to discover secret parks/trails, stunning Bay views, all the wonders of Tilden Park, and meet great neighbors along the way!
