A landscape architect and urban planner designed this one-of-a-kind home on over a half-acre in the Berkeley Claremont Hills, capturing breathtaking views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge. The living room--with its vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors--forms the heart of the home, perfect for entertaining. Enjoy formal dining or casual meals in the open-concept kitchen and family room, where French doors open to the garden and pool. The main-level primary suite features a soaring ceiling, private outdoor access, and a spa-like bath with marble finishes, skylights, and dual walk-in closets. Upstairs, two additional en-suite bedrooms boast dramatic bridge views and overlook the open-concept living space below. The lower level includes a spacious family room, home office, gym, wine room, and a fourth bedroom with a private courtyard. Outdoors, mature landscaping by noted designers transforms the grounds into a private botanical garden, filled with color and texture throughout the year. The property also includes a separate 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest house (1,035 sq ft) with a full kitchen and a free-standing timber-frame bonus room. Peaceful and private, yet moments from Berkeley's cultural and culinary destinations--this is an urban retreat in perfect harmony with nature.
