Stunning and fully remodeled, this 3-bed, 2-bath Cragmont gem spans 1,784 sq ft and offers an extraordinary lifestyle defined by sweeping Bay views, timeless charm, and high-end finishes. Step onto the front porch and take in direct views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, and the San Francisco skyline. Inside, natural light fills the living room anchored by a cozy fireplace and newly updated flooring. The open-concept kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a peninsula with bar seating, a breakfast nook, and a dining area—all with postcard-worthy vistas. Two main-level bedrooms include one with Golden Gate views and dual closets, plus a garden-facing rear room. The updated hall bath features modern finishes. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with San Francisco skyline views, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with a navy vanity. A few steps up is a bonus room perfect for an office or guest space with panoramic bridge views. The expansive terraced backyard offers multiple outdoor areas, and the home includes a tandem garage, off-street parking, and a tastefully landscaped front yard. This is more than a home—it’s a private observatory over the Bay, nestled in a quiet, creative, and coveted Berkeley neighborhood.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
