This stunning home, on a rare ½+ acre lot in Berkeley’s Lower Claremont hills, was conceived and built by a noted landscape architect/urban planner and his wife. The home, 8,500 square feet in all, commands stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay. Enter into a two-story grand foyer. To the left is the large living room, with a 20-foot peaked ceiling and distinctive red oak hardwoods with inlay. The room is certain to be the center of social gatherings large and small. French doors lead to a balcony with bridge and bay views. More French doors lead outside, with views of climbing roses and other curated fl owers in every direction. Dine in the adjacent formal dining room, or casually in the open-fl oorplan kitchen overlooking the pool. The fi rst of the home’s two family rooms adjoins the kitchen, and an elite speaker system provides one’s selection of music. French doors everywhere provide garden and pool access, ensuring indoor-outdoor living opportunities at every turn.
