Sunlight, Space, Serenity and Sweeping Views

This modern Mediterranean home, built in 1998, is a rare blend of grace, warmth, and customized craftsmanship. Designed by Jarvis Architects and elegantly tailored by its original and only owners, the property offers exceptional space, breathtaking views, and thoughtful design throughout.

Offering four bedrooms and two and one-half baths, this residence is designed to embrace both luxury and livability. Upon arrival, the courtyard-style entry immediately impresses with beautiful landscaping, including dry-laid stone walls that set a serene and warm welcome.
 
The main level flows effortlessly, with the formal dining room and living room positioned to maximize the stunning views. From the moment you step inside, your eye is drawn straight through—from the entry through the living spaces to the mesmerizing Bay and Bridge views. French doors from the living room open to a terrace and a charming deck area, shaded by an arbor—an ideal spot for relaxing or enjoying meals al fresco. The masterfully designed garden rewards the senses with its spatial depth and lush beauty.

The living room, situated at the back of the house, is light-filled and features a carved marble fireplace. Rich hardwood floors span the entire main level, extending through the kitchen and family room, enhancing the warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The culinary kitchen showcases a center island, a pantry, and an eat-in dining space that frames the spectacular southwest-facing views, offering a beautiful backdrop for everyday living and dining. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the family room, anchored by a second fireplace—perfect for casual gatherings. A convenient half bath completes this level.
 
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four generous bedrooms and two well-appointed baths, including the primary ensuite.  The bedroom layout is thoughtfully arranged for privacy and flow—several enjoy outlooks to the Bay—culminating in the expansive primary suite with vaulted ceilings, dual closets, and the quiet pleasure of awakening each morning to unforgettable horizons.
The lower level offers additional space ideal for an office or lounging, a two-car garage with interior access, and additional storage.
 
Experience a life framed by nature’s beauty, where the deep, exquisitely designed garden—lush, layered, and artfully planted—reveals vibrant color year-round and provides both visual structure and seasonal delight. The sculptural arbor lends shade and architectural interest, creating space for reading under dappled light, dinners that stretch into evening, and quiet moments enjoying the landscape.

Ideally situated for outdoor enthusiasts, the property offers proximity to Tilden Park and regional open space, while set in a peaceful hillside location just minutes above Solano Avenue and the vibrant North Berkeley locales.
 
This is a home where every detail has been considered, and every space invites you to enjoy the best of Bay Area living.
