Exceptional views make this Berkeley home distinctive. Enter to the centerpiece of the home, the expansive living room/dining room, nearly 450 square feet in all. A fireplace wards off winter chill, and residents and guests will be transfixed by the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows: the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Tamalpais and southern Marin County, Angel Island, Alcatraz, San Francisco and the Bay. Refinished hardwoods cover the premises throughout. The kitchen, with Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, sits adjacent, along with a breakfast nook for casual dining. It offers access to the well-tended backyard garden and courtyard. Two bedrooms (one with garden views, the other with Bay and bridge views) are upstairs, each with a bathroom (one en-suite, the other with a tub/spa). The primary bedroom and en-suite bath are found past a quiet sitting room, down a short flight of stairs. The highly rated Cragmont Elementary School is conveniently located just down the street. A two-car garage makes parking easy, and it’s just a 10-minute drive down the hill to the UC Berkeley campus and a vibrant selection of local restaurants, shops, parks, and more. Views: Downtown
