1516 Grizzly Peak Blvd Berkeley, CA 94708

Atop the Berkeley Hills on Grizzly Peak, this MidCentury sanctuary blends timeless elegance, eco-friendly upgrades, and breathtaking views of Berkeley, Oakland and the South Bay. Perched above the fog line, you'll see the fog roll in and retreat like the ocean tide – a vantage unique to this location. Nature lovers will revel in proximity to Tilden Park, scenic hiking trails and the Lawrence Hall of Science, yet just moments from downtown Berkeley. An indoor-outdoor lifestyle is assured by the Eichler-inspired open-space design, with gleaming wood floors that flow seamlessly to front and rear redwood decks, and all-new windows and glass doors that bathe the home in natural light. A handcrafted zinc bar top, custom stone fireplace and kitchen and bath updates add touches of sophistication, while a ?new furnace and a preference toward natural, organic and low-VOC upgrades (like organic wool insulation) ensure sustainable comfort.The main house is a split-level with two beds and a bath up, a half-bath on the main floor with living, dining and kitchen, and downstairs is a legal 1-bed, 1-bath plus kitchenette studio, which has been used as a large master suite, a generous work space, and rented as a separate apartment. (registered with City of Berkeley as a short-term rental.)
