Colonial Revival from 1880 reimagined for the new millennium! While the façade pays homage to classic American architecture (portico, wooden wall cladding, paired windows, grand staircase entry), the interior is a stunning testament to thoughtful modern design. A study in light & spatiality, the main floor boasts dramatic 12 foot ceilings, a sun filtering skylight, and airy floorplan that allows you to see through the house from front to back - truly open concept living. The pièce de résistance is an iconic see-through staircase, a striking feature that ascends to the amply sized sky deck. Enjoy 360 degree panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay & the East Bay skyline atop your home. Perfect for sunbathing, watching sunsets & July 4th fireworks. A darling ADU with level-in separate entry, full kitchen & washer dryer make this a flex space for multi generational living, rental income/Airbnb or au pair quarters. The magical backyard is surrounded by a canopy of foliage offering a verdant peaceful setting. Plenty of space to dine al fresco, BBQ, or throw garden party. With a 99 Walkscore, live mere blocks from UC Berkeley, BART, Equinox, downtown shopping dining theatres & more. Take advantage of all this vibrant cerebral city has to offer.
