Perched in the Berkeley Hills with sweeping views of the Bay, this rare offering pairs a main residence with separate cottage on one lot. The main house has all the warmth of a classic hillside home, with rich wood paneling, beautiful natural light, and real romantic charm. The main level offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the living and dining areas flow easily into the kitchen, with plenty of built-ins along the way. Step out onto the deck, take in the view, and you'll understand right away why this spot is so special. Downstairs, a flexible bonus space with a non-conforming bath makes a great studio, office, or guest retreat. At street level, the separate one-bedroom cottage has Bay views of its own, along with a full kitchen and bath. It's a wonderful setup for visiting family and friends, creative work, or rental income. Lush plantings and a garden patio surround it all, and a covered carport and extra storage add everyday convenience. Tilden Park is just up the road for weekend hikes, and you're only minutes from downtown Berkeley, the shops and restaurants of North Shattuck, schools, and an easy commute to San Francisco. Opportunities like this don't come along often in the Berkeley Hills. Home Energy Score of 2.
