Property Description

Designed by Walter Ratcliff, chief architect for the City of Berkeley in the early 20th Century, this extraordinary 1929 Mediterranean combines exquisite design and craftsmanship, lush and lovely gardens, and sweeping North Bay views. Beyond the secluded courtyard entry, the grand foyer introduces the architectural themes: soaring spaces, rich wood beams and details, leaded glass, and intricate ironwork. Ascend the open staircase to the magnificent Great Room with vaulted ceiling, sculptural stone fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling French doors to its balconies and vistas. Like the Great Room, the adjacent library/study is lined with handsome bookshelves. On the main level, the family room opens east to the courtyard and west to the tastefully updated kitchen open to a generous dining area with a balcony and treetop bay view. Two charming view bedrooms, one with a fireplace, and an artfully tiled hall bathroom complete the main level. Below, down a graceful, open staircase, the large and light-filled primary suite opens to the rear deck and leafy garden patios anchored by a towering redwood tree. Lovingly maintained over many decades, this uniquely beautiful home invites lovers of architecture to this very special neighborhood close to all North Berkeley pleasures.
