Treetop & Skyline Views

Peacefully perched at the corner of La Loma Avenue and Virginia Street in the highly sought-after Berkeley Hills Northside neighborhood, this sunlit home evokes the feeling of a serene tree house. Open and airy, this townhouse-style condo is essentially a free-standing home, with only a shared wall in the garage and no HOA dues. 

The welcoming living room and dining room are bathed in sunlight from morning till dusk. A seeming wall of windows captures beautifully tree-filtered views of many classic Bay Area treasures: San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, UC Berkeley’s Campanile, Oakland, and Alcatraz Island. The sweet deck, easily accessed from sliding glass doors off the dining room, spans the length of the front of the home and is a dreamy spot for morning coffee while listening to the springtime chirping of birds, or an evening dinner, enjoying dramatic sunset hues over the Golden Gate Bridge. Freshly refinished original oak hardwood floors and a handsome fireplace flanked by charming built-ins set off the living-room views, creating a restful retreat after a long day out and about. 

While out and about, this location offers unbeatable access to all that North Berkeley has to offer. Ideally situated with a WalkScore® of 78, vibrant North Shattuck shops and eateries are moments away, including spots like Chez Panisse, Bar Panisse, Gregoire’s, and the Cheese Board, to name a few. You are only moments from the renowned University of California, Berkeley, providing effortless proximity to lecture halls, beloved parks, and easy commute options, including BART. You'll love the abundance of top-rated restaurants, eclectic shops, and cafés right at your doorstep. For those who work from home, a perfect office space is tucked just off the bedroom, or is it a cozy second bedroom? Close the door and stay productive—unless you choose to work outside on the deck instead! With its proximity to campus, this home could also be a highly sought-after rental for visitors to the area.** Enjoy the perfect balance of urban amenities in a peaceful, natural setting.
