★Lovely Mid-Century Modern Gem! ★BAY VIEWS★ HOT TUB★PARKING! ★PETS WELCOME!

Our unique and charming Mid-Century modern gem is located in the North Berkeley Hills. Beautiful bay views, cozy gas fireplace, fenced yard with flower garden, and a 700 sq/ft deck with hot tub are just some of the many features of this modern marvel. Our lovely home awaits your stay.

Imagine sipping a glass of wine while sitting on your private deck listening to birds singing in the trees and watching the sun set over the bay. Imagine enjoying a long soak in the hot tub while watching the city lights dance in the sky. Imagine enjoying a home in the beautiful and serene North Berkekey Hills and yet still being walking distance to endless shops, restaurants, parks and the UC Campus. Imagine being so close to everything and yet feeling a million miles away from the noisy hustle and bustle of the city. If this is the space your are imagining for your stay in Berkeley then our home is right for you.

This lovely home was built by a renewed 1960's post-war architect who was known for his inventive and eccentric touches to the homes he designed. Many original details abound in this Mid-Century gem. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and bedrooms fill these rooms with bright sunshine and open the rooms to lovely views of the bay. The garden view out the living room window looks like a painting come to life. The large windows infuse the home with light and views from every direction. The hardwood floors gleam and the cool 1960's wet bar beckons you to make an evening cocktail. The gas fireplace will keep you warm on those foggy days.

Our lovely space features:
-New furnishings, mattresses and linens.
-Beautiful bay views from the deck, living room an bedrooms.
-A fenced yard with a 700+sq/ft deck, a flower garden and filtered bay views. Outdoor couches make this area superb for lounging.

Fully fenced for your furry friends!

Lovely stay
My family and I loved our stay at this home! Everything was just as described. The hot tub and gorgeous city view from the yard were a huge plus! It was just what we were looking for while in town visiting family. We also had a small incident of foolishly locking ourselves out of the house and the owners (as well as the housekeeper, Eunice) were very attentive and came to let us back in within 30 minutes! We were very appreciative of that!!

Lovely views, easy stay
The house was a good fit for four people and our small dog. The deck was nice and we spent a lot of time out there. It's walking distance from the Berkeley Rose Garden as well. The bedrooms are nicely sized (we did not use the detached room). This house was a little bare in regards to having certain household items. There wasn't an extra roll of paper towels or food items like salt or olive oil. Not a big deal but items we did purchase to cook at home.

WHAT A VIEW
My boyfriend and I wanted a change of scene during this shelter in place and couldn’t be happier with this property. We wanted a place to relax and just forget about everything that’s going on in the world right now. This property was perfect for that. It was extremely clean and I am a neat freak! The bed were very comfortable, clean and cozy. Our absolutle favorite thing about this stay was the hot tub and watching the sunset over the Bay Area it was absolutely breath taking. We will definitely be back and recommend this property to anyone looking for a little get away in the heart of the bay area !

Sparkling clean home with incredible views. Hidden Gem!
What a great home! It was sparkling clean (and I am a clean freak!) and so warm and sunny! The home is so stylish with a fun mid-century modern theme that collaborates with the home architecture (I love mid-century modern homes!). The furniture and decor is modern and comfortable. The bedrooms are large and the king beds are so comfortable! Large bathroom with bath tub and lots of hot water. The home has incredible bay views from almost every room! The outdoor patio area was our favorite. Large deck with lots of comfortable outdoor furniture. Large outdoor dining area and BBQ a well. The hot tub was magical. Looking at the bay view lights from the hot tub was the best. This area of Berkley is a hidden gem. So close to the UC campus but lots of trees and nature and wildlife around. We really enjoyed it. Cannot wait to go back. If you are considering this property I can recommend everything about it. Especially if you like bight and sunny homes and are a neat freak like me!

Very cute Mid-Century
Clean, beds are comfortable and house is nicely furnished. Kitchen has everything you need. Beautiful outdoor area for relaxing or dining. Only caution, there is no AC. It’s not usually needed in Berkeley but good to know.

Great property in beautiful Berkeley Hills, BUT...
First, the highlights: the house location, easy parking, the incredible deck overlooking SF, the two main bedrooms with excellent linens and pillows, the well-appointed living room, the very appreciated bottle of wine welcoming us, that was all fantastic. However, the out of control mildew smell coming out of that main air vent on the floor in the main hallway outside of the bedrooms, is just not OK for a rental property this expensive. And mildew smell was so overwhelming in the detached third bedroom that my adult son had to sleep in the living room. One non-major issue was challenge of fluctuating water temp in the shower; it's a classic problem in an older house and it's an easy fix, but requires a plumber to come in and remove some tiles and replace/repair the hot water faucet. Resolve the mildew issue (of course, not a minor expense) and this property is a home run. Just loved this place, and I used to own a home 1/2 mile away.
