Unique features include opened-up walls to expose Golden Gate views from the living room & patio areas. Open concept enhances feeling of airiness and volume connecting living room and dining areas. A "true" chef's eat-in kitchen features luxury brand appliances including Wolf built-in oven, cook-top and microwave, while the Miele hood hangs like a crown over the kitchen island. Seamless access from kitchen to patio and outdoor fireplace complements the indoor-outdoor daily living lifestyle. Main floor has two bedrooms and two full baths to create easy one-level living. Redesigned as a split-level, the primary suite is on the lower level, a true get-away oasis with unique ensuite boasting two vanities and access to patio and private gardens filled with mature landscaping and fruit trees. The trifecta "gold" location - exquisite privacy, mostly flat large lot + Golden Gate views! Close to the Arlington Kensington shops near the Berkeley border. Easy access to University of California at Berkeley, Solano Avenue for restaurants, eateries and cafes and annual Solano Stroll, or Chez Panisse restaurant and the Cheese Board @ North Berkeley gourmet ghetto location just minutes away.
