Spectacular family retreat in ideal location. It doesn't get better than this! Perched on a knoll above the Arlington Fountain, this is the sweet spot. High enough to have dead-on Golden Gate views but low enough to stroll to all things North Berkeley. Solano and Shattuck Avenues are steps away. Wander gorgeous neighborhood paths to legendary Berkeley parks such as Indian Rock, John Hinkel or Tilden. Or catch the Transbay Express and plug in on your comfortable ride to the City. Return home to elegance that is both grand and cozy. Period details and subtle upgrades grace the expansive common areas. Guest room with bathroom tucked in back. Up the exquisite staircase you'll find four ample bedrooms, all with amazing light. Elegant master suite seems to float above the Bay. A yard like a pocket-park with sleep-in playhouse is the cherry on top! Upgrades include dual-paned windows, new furnace, remodeled kitchen and master bath. Huge basement with tons of storage and workshop.
