1225 Glen Avenue, Berkeley

Just above Berkeley’s Gourmet District, 1225 Glen is an extraordinary 5BR/4BA Mid-Century Modern garden oasis–a rare, one-of-a-kind beauty perched above the street and uniquely flexible to accommodate friends or family under one roof. The lovingly maintained 3178 sq ft North Berkeley residence enjoys wide open spaces and expansive picture and casement windows overlooking the San Francisco Bay and the Berkeley Rose Garden. Two large sitting areas include a fireplace, open beam ceiling, and bonus room for office or play. Recently refinished wood floors span the house and flow into a spacious dining room with so many windows you feel like you’re outdoors among the exquisite wrap-around gardens. The sunny, oversized kitchen has new appliances and thoughtful amenities of the past, including a laundry chute, and an indoor BBQ with a gorgeous copper hood. Steps down lead to the laundry room, additional storage, a bright bedroom with fireplace, and an additional full bath. Up the main staircase with its geometric design, the primary en-suite bedroom has a 360 degree roof deck and views of both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. The main floor has 2 more full baths and 3 bedrooms, each with roomy built-in wardrobes. Multiple glass doors lead outside to the beautiful terraced gardens, with an outdoor fireplace, gardeners’ shed/work-from-home retreat, and many sitting areas. Out your front door, a detached 2-car garage awaits, and a quick stroll takes you to the world class amenities of North Berkeley and the University of California.
