762 Arlington Ave, Berkeley, CA 94707

A top-to-bottom transformation of this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home elevates it to a Berkeley Hills showpiece. Its Twenties Tudor framework now embraces three levels of charismatic living space including lavish open kitchen, living room and primary suite, all of which flow to a deck presenting filtered Bay views. The primary suite is edged by a bay of windows and endowed with a luxuriously proportioned walk-in closet and bathroom. Porcelain floor tile conveys graphic artistry as it meets a double-sink vanity and glassed shower. Three second-floor bedrooms, noteworthy for angular ceiling allure, are served by a hall bathroom. On the lower level, a bedroom joins the family room and another full bathroom. Step out from the expansive family room to gloriously green grounds crowned by a majestic serpentine oak, one of the Thousand Oaks for which the neighborhood is named.
