870 Grizzly Peak Boulevard, Berkeley, Kalifornien, Alameda County, 94708

At the top of the hill and hidden from the street you will find a home – low slung and close to the land, it cascades down the hill – at one with its lush gardens.

Through arched door and across the time-worn pavers you descend into the enchanting private courtyard.

Life lived here is magical, practical, serene. Built in 1939, and with thoughtful updates, its gracious footprint is set inside a landscape that also includes a kitchen garden, fruit trees, grassy areas for play, a patio and a covered porch.

Follow the sound of the fountain to the passageway. There you will find a wine room.

Four generous bedrooms are spaced for maximum privacy. The thoughtfully designed layout incudes living areas that flow effortlessly from formal to casual, always elegant – always home.

Relax on your covered porch – perhaps sighting a deer as it pauses, for a moment, in your yard.

Here the world retreats – your life and your home, the focus in your private park against the backdrop of the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge beyond.
