Tucked into the Berkeley Foothills, this inviting 3++ BD / 2 BA home, designed by architect Walter Ratcliff, with an additional 1 BD / 1 BA lower-level space, sits on a rare level lot with sunny, private front and rear gardens and sweeping Bay views. It offers a beautiful balance of space, light, and tranquility in one of Berkeley’s most desirable neighborhoods. The main floor features a welcoming living room, dining room, kitchen, full bath, laundry, and a flexible office or bedroom. Large windows fill the home with natural light and frame leafy garden outlooks. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two with panoramic Bay and San Francisco views, and a renovated bathroom blending classic character with fresh design. The lower level provides additional finished space with a kitchenette, bath, and bedroom—ideal for guests, family, or creative use. (Non-conforming; not a legal rental.) The level lot is a true standout. Both front and back gardens are private and expansive, surrounded by mature trees and thoughtful plantings. Recent updates include electrical, a new roof, kitchen cabinets, and central air conditioning, while original hardwood floors and tray ceilings preserve timeless charm. Close to parks, top-rated schools, the Gourmet District, and Solano Avenue’s shops.
