108 Strathmoor Drive, Berkeley

Surrounded by beauty and resting on a bluff in the Claremont Hills, with SF city and bay views to the front and wide open Claremont Canyon views to the rear, 108 Strathmoor is a 2BD/1BA, 1692 sq ft Custom Contemporary Craftsman that further enjoys a rare level lot in the hills and expansive deck. Aesthetically anchored in warmth and drama, the heart of the home is a wide-open great room with vaulted ceilings and banks of windows on three sides framing the stunning treetop and bay views. The kitchen and dining areas take advantage of the rare combination of views, and French doors open onto the large rear deck overlooking the verdant hills¬† - perfect for entertaining on summer evenings. Two generous bedrooms are flooded with natural light - one overlooking the bay and the other with a private deck and canyon views - and a sunny open loft area that might serve as a home office, creative space, study, or yoga studio. Nearly level and surrounded by trees, the grassy backyard is an ideal spot to relax and observe the hummingbirds, quail, and hawks that call the area home. As a bonus, the idyllic solitude of this unique location will remain untouched because the home borders the East Bay Park District’s Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve and is exempt from encroaching development.
