Built in 1968 and on the market for the first time, this Berkeley Hills home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated to welcome its next chapter. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and bordered by vacant, redwood-dotted UC Berkeley land, the property offers a rare sense of privacy and calm. Set on a nearly level lot in a park-like setting, this single-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has broad appeal and is equally suited as a first home or an easy, comfortable downsize. The spacious main living area invites relaxed lounging and effortless entertaining, while the more intimate dining area sets the stage for shared meals and long conversations. The generously-sized kitchen, with plentiful cabinets & drawers, features new quartz countertops and a stainless steel sink and faucet, offering ample workspace and storage. A large primary suite anchors the rear of the home, while two additional bedrooms overlook the colorful, soothing front yard. Original hardwood floors and hollow-core doors throughout speak to the home's authentic Mid-Century character, while tube skylights bring in natural daylight and new recessed lighting offers flexible ambiance throughout. This unique property offers a rare balance of serene, nature-surrounded living and easy access to city amenities. Located adjacent to Tilden Park trailheads and access roads, it's a dream setting for cyclists and hikers alike, yet just minutes from the Lawrence Hall of Science and UC Berkeley, and convenient to Berkeley's Solano Ave and North Shattuck shopping and dining corridors. Recent improvements add both function and peace of mind: a new solar-ready, 200-amp main electrical panel with undergrounded service (2026), an extensive drainage system (2024), and seismic retrofit (2024). BESO compliant, HERS score 5.
