Single Family Residence In Berkeley

Straight out of a Tuscan hillside village, this 5+ bedroom, 3.5-bath Mediterranean retreat brings old-world warmth and character to the Claremont Hills. Creamy smooth stucco, a terracotta tile roof, and patinated metal detailing give the home an established sense of place, complemented by lush valley and Bay views. The level-in entry opens to a dramatic vaulted foyer with terracotta floors. Off the central hall, glass-paned French doors open to reveal versatile main living spaces that easily flow together for entertaining or close for quiet intimacy. The living room features a vaulted ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, and an acoustically designed entertaining space with custom built-in window seating and cabinetry. The adjacent formal dining room, with a handsome, verdant-stained box-beam ceiling and French doors, leads to a spacious patio for lounging and taking in the views. The kitchen is built to feed a crowd with an industrial range, dual sinks, counter seating, driveway-level grocery access, and two-car garage entry. One level below lies the private sleeping wing. The primary suite includes a built-in dresser, walk-in closet, dedicated office, luxury ensuite bath with a soaking tub, and a private balcony. Down the hall, you will find three peaceful, generous bedrooms grouped alongside a full bath and dedicated laundry room. The lower level reveals a sunny, flexible suite with its own entrance and private patio. Complete with two generous bedrooms, a full kitchen, bath, and living room, it offers options for guests or multi-generational living. Throughout, terracotta, fine wood, and metal finishes create a home that feels warm, refined, and deeply authentic. Berkeley mailing address, Oakland taxes.
