OLD WORLD ELEGANCE and SOPHISTICATION combined with METICULOUS MAINTENANCE and CRAFTMANSHIP describe this calming sanctuary. Enjoy intimate dinners in the very special dining room with real, but tasteful, gold leaf ceiling and the ambiance of a warm fire. Sunlight streams into the expansive living room with subtle bay views and an adjoining garden room. Remodeled kitchen with rich quartz counters and island, rift sawn oak cabinets, stainless appliances with views of the lush garden with majestic redwood tree. Original and new Mahogany woodwork throughout the interior of the public rooms. Four spacious bedrooms including primary bedroom and two tastefully remodeled baths upstairs. Primary bedroom opens to its own balcony with San Francisco and bridge views. Downstairs, you will find the fifth bedroom (au pair, media room or guest quarters) and playfully remodeled bath. Don't miss the sauna or the workshop, every house must have one! Off the workshop you will find interior access to the spacious garage and wine storage room. During their 50 years of stewardship of this special home the owners have cared for and improved every detail from the tile roofs to seismic upgrades. Perfectly located just a few blocks to Indian Rock and Marin Circle, close by Solano Ave and North Berkeley. Views: Downtown
