    What's special

    Discover the tranquility and beauty of Park Hills, where stunning hillside vistas and sublime seclusion converge to create a captivating slice of the Sierras right here in Berkeley. This bright and sunny mid-century post & beam retreat offers panoramic views of Tilden Park (all neighborhood power lines are buried). It's like having Lake Anza, Tilden Golf Course, the carousel, steam train, and hiking and biking trails galore down the block! Of course, you're mere minutes from the Gourmet Ghetto, campus, Solano Street, BART, and the freeways. The home was designed to maximize indoor-outdoor living; every room opens onto a sylvan setting of decking, patios and a large terraced garden. In the living room you'll find custom built oak cabinets with stained glass doors, built-in oak bookshelves, a grand carved oak fireplace mantel, handcrafted wrought-iron lighting fixtures, and rich hardwood flooring. The charming country kitchen, updated with butcher-block countertops, farmer's sink, and a custom stained glass window, includes an eat-in area adjacent to sliding French doors opening to the garden. The master bedroom features large sliding glass doors that open to a deck overlooking Tilden and the Park Hills; there's also a large bay window to brings in the lush greenery of the expansive landscaped yard. The second of four bedrooms features a large skylight, a French door leading to the garden, and a sliding window allowing for fresh breezes. Additionally, the home has been extensively upgraded with Andersen dual pane windows, new kitchen plumbing, new water line to the street, new hot water heater, top of the line Carrier furnace, as well as seismic upgrades to the foundation. This truly is a piece of paradise.
