Property description
On park like grounds of more than an acre, this like-new home is a completely and authentically restored Craftsman! at the top of a cul-de-sac near CAL, it is a peaceful world of it's own! There are 4 parcels providing development potential and maximum privacy. The house has a new foundation, which created a fabulous wine cellar for up to 3500 bottles, and all new systems with all new surfaces except the pocket door opening to the living room! The media/family room has surround sound. The laundry room opens to the garden for an ideal mud room as well. The master suite includes a separate study with splendid Bay views. This magical creation harks back to the time of farms in Berkeley and the founding of our great university!
