Single story, indoor/outdoor living in this showcase home atop a ridge with expansive views of shimmering San Pablo Bay. Built to take full advantage of the location, almost every room opens to panoramic view & a huge patio runs across the back of house down to large pool & abundant kitchen garden. The ocean fog that often lingers over the west face of the Berkeley hills breaks up as it crests this mountain range but not before adding precious moisture to the air. The mix of added moisture & longer hours of sunlight means plants thrive, the heat is tempered, & the 22 solar panels soak up the savings. As you enter the compound & walk through the drought tolerant meadow of flowers, grasses & olive trees, the home’s ‘secret garden’ welcomes you with serenity & calm. A graceful entry to breathtaking views, bright open floorplan with many upgrades & lovingly cared for mid-century features. Airy kitchen boasts garden views from the sink & bay views from the range. Interior access to spacious laundry-mudroom provides separation for a fourth bedroom with ensuite bath – perfect for in-law/au pair or potential ADU. Fully usable ½ acre lot includes side yard with fruit trees & enough space for RV/boat. The location affords easy freeway access within a secluded neighborhood.
