Family Home with Sweeping Views, Near UC Berkeley, Parks and Downtown Areas
My husband and I are tech professionals who are temporarily moving abroad to take care of parents. We bought our home just about a year ago and have since fully renovated the kitchen. Our home is a sanctuary but close to all the action. Here's what... we love about our home:
Minutes from so many hiking and biking trails So easy to get on the highway and drive to San Francisco, downtown Oakland and Berkeley, wine country (just an hour to Napa & Sonoma!) Gorgeous sunsets and lazy BBQs on the large deck (every day a different sunset) The kitchen of your dreams - 8 gas and induction burners, a huge island to gather your family and friends, open floor plan so you can enjoy the views while prepping dinner Watching movies on the "big screen" in the living room (projector + Apple TV)
The home features 3 bedrooms: 1 very large bedroom that can be used as a family room, a room for two kids or a bedroom with an office area. Currently includes two twins that can be converted into a king plus a convertible sofa 1 medium sized bedroom furnished with a queen bed 1 smaller sized bedroom furnished with a twin bed and a standup desk
We can leave more or less furniture and furnishings in the house as needed.
We've installed solar and storage so unless you used excessive energy, your electricity costs should be minimal, even if you're running the a/c during the summer months.
If you're visiting this area, you'll love the ease of access to the SF Bay: [10-15 min] Piedmont Avenue, Rockridge/Elmwood, Temescal, Montclair - for restaurants, cafes, shopping, gyms/studios, movies, hair salons/massages, and importantly: Trader Joes, Zachary's Pizza See's Candies :-) [15 min] Grand Lake Farmer's Market (one of the best and largest in the area) [15 min] Berkeley hidden staircases (there are some in Oakland too!) [2-20 min] Hiking Berkeley and Oakland hills: Claremont Regional, Sibley Volcanic, Skyline Gate Staging Area (Part of Redwood Regional), Briones Regional, Mt. Diablo (tough one) [15 min] Orinda, including outdoor Shakespeare amphitheater [1 - 1.5 hours] Napa & Sonoma wine country (be sure to get this tasting pass and while you're in wine country, check out pools/spas with Resort Pass) [45 min] Suisan Valley wine country (gateway to Napa with its own network of wineries) [3-3.5hours] Skiing in Tahoe, hiking in Yosemite
