Luxury 3BR Hillside Retreat w/AC – Panoramic View

Summary:

Live in luxury in this meticulously remodeled Claremont Heights mid-century modern 3bd/3ba home. Here you’ll experience Berkeley’s best neighborhood, perched high enough on the hill to have stunning bay views but low enough that you can walk to coffee or lunch.



This stunning home is perfect for a luxury stay featuring high end furnishings, a well appointed kitchen, 5-star linens, and Kiehl's bath products.



The Space:

On a clear day, panoramic bay and city views fill the living room, dining room and all three bedrooms. Abundant outdoor living space includes a garden patio as well as two large decks with views from the north bay to the south bay, as well as downtown San Francisco, downtown Oakland and downtown Berkeley. This downsloping home is separated from the street above by a walled Japanese garden, giving it a private, retreat-like feel.



The home underwent some technological upgrades August 2022 and February 2023. The living room now features motorized roller shades, please use the remote control mounted on the wall to the left. The HVAC system was replaced with a modern, highly efficient, electric heat pump, offering: air conditioning, heating, and greater indoor air quality via a MERV 13 air filter that can capture smaller mold, smoke, and allergen pollutants in addition to bacteria and virus particles. In 2023, the home's water heater was upgraded from gas to a highly efficient heat pump, bringing this home one appliance closer to being a climate-conscious all-electric home.

The Neighborhood:

Your neighborhood is home to several of Berkeley’s famous walking paths and staircases. Follow the stairs of Eucalyptus Path 10 minutes down to the restaurants, cafes and spa at the historic 5-star Claremont Hotel (or take the more meandering Evergreen Path if the stairs are too steep)! Walk another 2 minutes and explore the shopping, sipping and dining on Domingo Ave, including Berkeley’s best breakfast at Rick & Ann’s Cafe.



Nestled on the edge of Claremont Canyon Nature Preserve, your hillside abode is also only a 3-minute walk to the quiet, forested hiking trails of Garber Park. Start your day with an exhilarating stroll among the majestic oaks of this little-known neighborhood sanctuary.



Getting Around:

Public Transit does come nearby but your best bet is to bring a car or plan to use car sharing.



Other Things to Note:

The house features three elegantly appointed bedrooms including two master suites. The third bedroom is only a few steps to its own full bathroom. There is also a small fourth “bonus room” attached to one of the master suites, which contains a twin-over-full bunk bed. All three bedrooms and the bonus room have doors onto the decks. The bonus room has smart lock access just like the front door to the house.
