6801 Buckingham Blvd, Berkeley, CA 94705

Perched in the Claremont Hills between the Claremont Hotel and Grizzly Peak, this three-level home has been renovated from the inside out and nearly every bedroom opens to its own private balcony. The main level opens to light. Level 5 smooth-finish walls, solid oak interior doors, new flooring throughout, and designer lighting create a calm, uncluttered backdrop.

A Modern Flames linear fireplace anchors the living room, and glass doors open to an extended entertaining deck built for long evenings and canyon views. The kitchen was built to be used: Neolith countertops, custom cabinetry, a Monogram 36-inch six-burner range, Miele dishwasher, and Zephyr microwave drawer, flowing directly to the dining area and out to the deck.

Bedrooms are generous and private, each with a spacious closet and its own balcony, a layout that gives every room its own pocket of quiet and its own slice of view. Bathrooms are all new, finished in large-format tile with contemporary vanities and fixtures.

Above it all, a finished loft with a private balcony and partial Bay views works as a studio, office, media room, or reading retreat. Two-car garage. Approximately 8,370 square foot hillside parcel. Berkeley 94705 mailing address, City of Oakland jurisdiction.

The setting does the rest. Minutes to College Avenue and Rockridge for coffee, groceries, and BART; a short run over the hill to Orinda; quick access to Highway 24 and the Caldecott in either direction. Grizzly Peak Open Space and the East Bay ridge trails are just up the hill. Renovation completed by a licensed California contractor. Inspection reports and full upgrade documentation available on request.
