Property Description

Hidden behind mature hedges on a nearly 20,000-square-foot street-to-street parcel, the home reveals itself gradually. Sweeping views stretch across Tilden Park, while birdsong and remarkable quiet create a sense of peaceful seclusion. The grounds have matured over generations. A century-old giant sequoia, stately beech, and magnificent Deodar cedar anchor the property, their towering canopies creating an extraordinary sense of permanence. Below, a broad brick terrace invites long outdoor dinners and easy entertaining, overlooking the lawn where generations of neighborhood children have played on the beloved wide turf slide while parents gathered on the patio above. The architecture is timeless and enjoying a well-deserved revival. Open the front door and the house feels immediately familiar. The warmth and romance of the English countryside blend effortlessly with generous windows, natural materials, and a seamless connection to the outdoors. The result feels as relevant today as ever. Its sprawling single-level floor plan is both inviting and highly livable. Rooms flow naturally from one to the next, equally suited for everyday living and gracious entertaining. A fourth bedroom and adjoining bath are thoughtfully positioned apart from the main living spaces, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private suite. Inside, old-growth redwood paneling has developed a rich warmth, complemented by vintage brass hardware and beautifully preserved architectural details. Throughout the home, exceptional craftsmanship and enduring materials create an atmosphere of authenticity that is increasingly rare. Just moments away, the Woodmont Neighborhood Swim Club offers one of the Berkeley Hills' most treasured traditions: a place where neighbors gather, children spend long summer days by the pool, and community still feels wonderfully personal. Few homes offer this combination of privacy, sweeping views, and extraordinary grounds. Nearly half an acre of mature landscape creates the feeling of a private park, just minutes from the cultural heart of Berkeley. More than a home in the Berkeley Hills, this is a property deeply rooted in its landscape, where timeless architecture, magnificent trees, and exceptional tranquility come together in rare harmony. BESO score is 1.
