Room to breathe!

Revel in the space of this 4+bedroom 3-bath level-in home on a magnificent 13,000 sq ft lot (.29 acres per public record) located in La Loma Park, a historic neighborhood in the Berkeley foothills, just above beloved Codornices Park and the Rose Garden. Away from it all, yet just minutes from the delights of North Berkeley’s Gourmet District. The shingled exterior, sloping roof, and cottage-style windows present a low profile from the street. The drama begins unfolding as you enter and are drawn to the vista of a quintessentially Northern California landscape. French doors open to balconies and a large terrace where you can enjoy sunsets and filtered views of the Bay. Relax in the deep tranquility of the grounds, studded with oaks and a stately redwood tree. Inside, the foyer leads to a generous living room flooded with light, with a fireplace and gleaming wood floors. The kitchen has a cool mid-century bent from a previous remodel, and there’s an adjacent skylit dining area that’s great for casual meals with family and friends, when you’re not dining al fresco on the terrace. 

The main floor has 2 bedrooms (one used by the owners as a home office with built-in shelves and desk), and a full bath. The lower level is super versatile, all with views of the flagstone patio and arbor, with pocket doors allowing you to open up several rooms for sleepovers, divide them for guests, yoga, or whatever suits you.. There are two bathrooms, another private bedroom with yard access, and a laundry room on this level. A tall basement and lots of closets provide great storage space. The property also has twin detached garages for easy and secure parking. The fountain burbles, the birds tweet, the sun rises and illuminates the kitchen, and the sunsets and glows through the trees in the evening. Idyllic!
