Designed in 1925 by John Knox Ballantine Jr., this historic Berkeley Hills home has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern life.
Perched in La Loma Park, the home’s original picture windows frame sweeping views of the Bay, Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Mount Tamalpais and the San Francisco skyline. Inside, inlaid hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry and original millwork meet an updated kitchen, pantry, mudroom and library. The living room opens to an expansive deck designed for dining, lounging and taking in the view.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, plus a rare original turret transformed into an enclosed sunroom with views in every direction. All of it sits on a 14,256 SF lot, within walking distance of UC Berkeley, the Rose Garden, Codornices Park and North Berkeley.
A rare piece of Berkeley architectural history, ready for its next chapter.
