Upper Rockridge
Rare Rockridge Residence. Lovingly and thoughtfully updated through the years, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Spanish Mediterranean home combines a coveted Upper Rockridge location with a private, peaceful hillside view setting.
Hidden behind a charming garden, this home's welcoming curb appeal invites you to explore further. A winding path leads to a private front porch, where a tranquil sitting area awaits tucked away from the street.
The main level opens with a living room, a separate den/office space with French doors leading to a side yard with private jacuzzi, and a dining room with a slider opening to a deck that overlooks the zen-like backyard and hillside views. Natural light floods into the kitchen via a skylight, illuminating custom cabinetry, seamless countertops, commercial grade Electrolux range, a concealed Thermador fridge and Fisher Paykel drawer dishwashers, and a custom pull-out island. From the kitchen, you can also enjoy tranquil views overlooking the private yard and surrounding Berkeley Hills, including the iconic Campanile Tower.
Hardwood floors throughout the main living level create a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by unique character details such as arched doors and an original tiled hearth flanked by two antique sconces in the living room. Built-in features, leaded glass windows, artisan tiled baths, and natural materials throughout further enhance the Craftsman-inspired atmosphere of this home. Inside every custom cabinet or nook or cranny, you will find thoughtful and convenient features like pull out shelves, built in reading lamps, or a place for just about everything.
Positioned for privacy, two stairs up on its own level, the primary suite is a private oasis with built-in entertainment cabinet, drawers, a walk-in closet with wood organizer, and a sea glass tiled ensuite bathroom featuring heated tile flooring, a walk-in shower, and plenty of storage. Two additional bedrooms with classic sconces and ample closets along with an updated bathroom with tub over shower and a skylight complete the main level.
The lower level includes a cozy family room with a gas fireplace for added comfort and a convenient half bath along with slider access to the backyard patio. Adjacent is an expansive work/garden/storage room with a sink, counters, cupboards, adjustable storage shelves, a full-size wine refrigerator, and convenient access to the garden and deck. Completing the home are a laundry room, attached 1-car garage with adjacent carport and partial basement with ample storage.
Beyond, the backyard beckons as a gardener's paradise, featuring mature landscaping, a deck, multiple sitting areas, a lawn, and peaceful views and sitelines. Opportunities like this don't come along often. This special home offers the best of both worlds in Upper Rockridge: hillside Beyond, the backyard beckons as a gardener's paradise, featuring mature landscaping, a deck, multiple sitting areas, a lawn, and peaceful views and sitelines.
