851 Euclid Ave, Berkeley, CA 94708

851 Euclid Ave is an elegant contemporary home perched near the top of the Berkeley Hills. Designed by the celebrated Peter L Harris, this home was skillfully crafted in 1991 by a general contractor by himself, for himself. The abundance of natural light is magnified by a dramatic open spiral stair surrounded by west and south-facing windows. White oak floors, wood framed cabinets, and an open floor plan maintain a sense of warmth and equilibrium. The magnificent chef’s kitchen opens to the living room, ideal for socializing while cooking. Enjoy a family dinner with the doors open to the gorgeous waterfall and koi pond. The large connected living room opens onto a west facing deck to take in the views of the Golden Gate. The master suite is deliberately secluded, equipped with a spa-worthy bathroom and spacious walk-in closet, and complemented with an adjoining private deck. The two other bedrooms are also on the upper level, and share a delightful second bathroom.
