This beautifully crafted residence was remodeled and expanded by Jarvis Architects. The result is a blend of architectural sophistication w/attractive spaces. The open light-filled spaces where the kitchen, dining, living, and family rooms flow seamlessly together-create an inviting setting for both relaxed living & entertaining. Framed by the backdrop of the ever-changing SF Bay, these spaces feel truly magical. Gardens w/fruit trees, flowers & herbs provide outdoor living areas. The open kitchen features a large cherry wood breakfast bar, induction cooktop, & a pantry. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat w/garden views, generous closet space, & a flexible sitting area that opens to the patio. Additional bedrooms are spacious & bright, while an office w/built-in shelves & cabinets offers inspiring Bay views. At the forefront of sustainability, the home has a BESO score of 10, with energy-efficient upgrades including solar panels, heat pump heating, AC & hot water, & an induction cooktop. The gardens, openness, views and setback from the road provide this home with a rare blend of comfort & natural beauty. Mins to Tilden Park and its Merry-go-Round, hiking trails & petting zoo & a short distance from UC Berkeley. Easy access to downtown Berkeley, shops, and restaurants.
