Enjoy privacy and serenity in this stunning contemporary treehouse in the lower North Berkeley Hills! The unique design features decks at every level, multiple skylights, and soaring ceilings, and is beautifully crafted to embrace its natural surroundings. It has been recently updated and refreshed, bringing a modern sensibility to the warmth of natural wood, tile, and stone. The entry-level offers two spacious bedrooms, a renovated split bathroom, and a shared deck with views of the surrounding greenery. Ascend to the main level where the dramatic living room opens seamlessly to a full-width front deck—perfect for entertaining or unwinding amid the treetops. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is at the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, a premium Wolf cooktop, and brand-new (2025) stainless steel appliances. The top floor is dedicated to an expansive primary suite, complete with a private deck retreat and an adjacent office with a picture-perfect window framing views of the San Francisco Bay. Located in a peaceful neighborhood known for its network of hidden pathways, proximity to local parks, and easy access to North Berkeley’s acclaimed restaurants, UC Berkeley, downtown, and BART. A one-of-a-kind sanctuary where modern living meets natural beauty.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
