This truly exceptional home is aglow with light from virtually every corner of the room, and offers the beauty and serenity that is seen above.
Located on a private tree lined street at 1967 Tunnel Road in the Claremont Hills of Berkeley, it features 3 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms in a very generous 3134 sf of living space.
A sweeping arc of floor to ceiling windows captures the varied colors and serenity of the many old growth trees that surround the home, allowing an everchanging view, as the days and hours change.
A large, centrally located fireplace provides a perfect centerpiece for creating one's favorite seating configurations that encourage pleasant conversations on a lazy afternoon, or before a formal dinner.
This graceful arc of the windows, combined with the high overhead open beam ceiling, reflects the time and imagination needed to create such a distinctive ambiance.
The open floorplan concept seen throughout the residence allows an easy freedom of movement from one room to another combined with a choice of a variety of configurations and furniture placement for the entire lower floor.
An excellent example is seen above. The dining room seating is just steps away from the kitchen and kitchen counter, offering both ease of service for food and beverages, and relaxing interactions with the home chef as food is prepared for lunch or dinner.
A sliding glass door to the right allows direct access to a exterior view deck for seating before or after the meal.
The counter, seen above, can double as a casual dining surface for breakfast or lunch, or as a serving surface for food and beverages when entertaining.
The bright and cheerful kitchen as been updated, and is surrounded with excellent working spaces and multilevel cabinets that are perfect for china, serving pieces, and glassware.
This adjacent outdoor deck is especially inviting for relaxation, and is an ideal location for hosting special events, cocktail parties, or desserts.
High above the main floor is this imaginatively designed walkway with its simple, yet effective, railing and richly patterned wood flooring that leads to the upstairs bedrooms.
This primary bedroom is one that reflects both beauty and imagination in its conception. It is truly expansive, offering generous floorspace for one's favorite pieces of furniture, side tables and wall decor.
A sliding glass door opens to a pleasant view balcony to the far right, and most dramatically, a pair of French doors open to reveal the exceptional primary bathroom, as is seen here, and below.
A stunning, and very inviting, tub with ceiling height glass panels anchors this primary bathroom. It is paired with a sliding glass door shower, and mirrored counter space with storage below.
Close by, this spacious, multi use closet stands ready to hold a large variety of shoes, clothing and personal items.
Nearby, a very useful, and especially imaginative, desk space awaits daily use, and is enhanced with set of vertical view windows of the hills below.
This second bedroom is warm and inviting, and could be utilized, if not needed as a bedroom, as a music room, playroom, arts and crafts room or study.
The third upstairs bedroom carries on the theme of sunlight enhanced beauty, and is complimented with a floor to ceiling window seat, and paired side window, along with a large sliding door closet to the right.
Moving from the third floor down to the lower level floor, one discovers this splendid family room that is perfect for special events, entertainment, and recreation.
A set of tall view windows reveal the trees and rolling hillsides that are the key to this house's distinctive ambiance, and the home's richly imaginative flooring is especially noticeable here.
Just steps away from the family room is this relaxing view balcony-a perfect choice as an addition to the family room's ambiance.
This scene captures the subtle balcony entrance to the home. While it leads the way to the front door, it also allows visitors a view of the dramatic hillside below.
A wider view of the home illustrates its exceptional hillside presence and serenity. It is being offered for sale for sale for $1,499,000, and I encourage you to call me promptly regarding it with your questions and interest at (510) 517-6280.
