Details
Nestled in the quiet Berkeley Hills with Tilden at your doorstep, this is the home that just feels right the moment you walk in. The stunning entry has Berkeley Mills cabinetry and shelving to display art, books and collections. The house was originally built in 1973 by architect Fred Karren, as a postwar design. Vaulted ceilings and skylights along with an abundance of windows let the natural light pour in and the connection between the outdoors and the indoors becomes seamless.
The Berkeley Mills kitchen featuring cherry cabinets was thoughtfully redesigned with a pot filler by the range, an instant hot water for your morning tea and many custom elements. The kitchen and adjacent laundry show off some the energy upgrades to this home-induction oven, Miele energy star appliances, Electrolux electric dryer. The kitchen centers between a breakfast room and the dining area with a fully retracting La Cantina door that leads to a terraced patio and another sliding door that opens to the inner courtyard.The living room features a working fireplace, a view of Mt.Tam and automated shades to ensure comfort on a sunny day.
The primary suite is a true retreat with another partial view and doors leading to a balcony overlooking the garden. The heated floors in the bath and a large walk-in closet add to the spacious suite. Downstairs, you will find another bedroom, full bath, and an office fitted with a custom bench and original midcentury shelving. The family room opens directly to the grassy backyard filled with a persimmon tree, birch trees and a plethora of flowering plants and foliage. A working greenhouse is tucked away at the back of the property and where the seller spent much time cultivating hundreds of orchids. Every window in this peaceful home frames a view of lush landscaping and trees — nature is always just outside the glass.
The remodel done a few years ago, left nothing untouched: new stucco for fire hardening, all-new windows, updated baths, laundry with sink, air conditioning and many energy upgrades that include an EV charger in the garage, and owned solar with backup battery giving 576 Vistamont a perfect BESO score of 10. A covered walkway leads to the 2-car garage with workshop and ample storage.
At 2,514 sq ft on a generous 8,704 sq ft lot, there's room to live, work, and exhale. This one checks every box — and then some.

Neighborhood
Perched above the city, North Berkeley Hills is an incredibly peaceful residential neighborhood, yet not far from the hustle and bustle of the city’s more urban areas. Homes in the neighborhood are built in a variety of styles and feature spacious patio decks, manicured lawns and lushly landscaped gardens.
A short trip to nearby Tilden Regional Park offers activities including a beautiful botanical garden, the Little Farm, and nearly 40 miles of scenic hiking trails. For a small fee, the public can also swim at Lake Anza, take a spin on the Merry-Go-Round, or enjoy a round of golf at Tilden Park Golf Course.
Despite its elevated location, North Berkeley Hills is extremely transit-friendly. The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District bus lines that serve the neighborhood drop residents at the Downtown Berkeley BART station for a quick commute to downtown San Francisco.
