Property Description

Originally built in 1936 and once home to the founder of Peet's Coffee, this extraordinary Berkeley Hills residence has been completely reimagined through a meticulous down-to-the-studs design-build renovation by Levitch Associates. No expense was spared blending timeless architectural character with exceptional craftsmanship, modern functionality, and artistic detail - including a newly installed slab foundation as part of the extensive reconstruction. Nestled among the redwoods on a quiet cul-de-sac and set on a rare combined 16,295 sq ft - which includes the adjacent 6,000 sq ft parcel (APN 63-2988-49) - the property feels like a private forest sanctuary while remaining minutes from the very best of Berkeley. With only three steps to the entry, the home offers rare ease of access. A dramatic living room frames breathtaking Golden Gate Bridge and Bay views. The formal dining room flows into an extraordinary chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, generous pantry, Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and artisan details throughout. Custom artistic elements by local craftspeople include original stained glass, handcrafted iron stair railings, tile mosaic work, and a custom kitchen hood. The flexible floor plan offers five bedrooms, multiple office spaces, and expansive lower-level bo
