Breathtaking Bay, SF and Golden Gate views from nearly every room greet you in this expansive, nearly new contemporary Craftsman, steps from the Rose Garden and all that North Berkeley, the Gourmet district, and Solano Ave. have to offer. Built in 1993 and extensively renovated over the past 5 years, timeless traditional architecture by Bay Architects is elevated to 21st century standards, from the Alan Kropp-engineered foundation, through 10-foot ceilings with elegant archways, to the Tesla solar system and many more Smart Home conveniences. The central foyer opens to a formal living room with gas fireplace, built-in bar, and library walls, with a separate office on the opposite side. But you'll be drawn straight ahead to the view, gracing the open-space kitchen-dining-family room through walls of windows and telescoping patio doors. Upstairs, a luxurious primary suite repeats the grandeur with bedroom, sitting area and newly remodeled bath framing the view. Two more generously sized bedrooms and a remodeled hall bath and laundry room complete the upstairs, with delightful views at every turn. The separate entry, walk-out lower level, equipped as a home theater, offers a possible 4th bedroom and bath, or inlaw suite. An oversized 2-car garage provides storage and shop space.
