Property Description
Homes in this coveted neighborhood rarely become available. Beautifully designed, thoughtfully upgraded, and impeccably maintained, this exceptional home brings together classic architecture, quality craftsmanship, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Believed to have been built by renowned builder Torvik, whose distinguished homes surround the property, it reflects the timeless character and exceptional construction for which the neighborhood is known. Set on 10,000 square feet lot, this elegant home offers 2,755 square feet with five bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and generous spaces for everyday living, entertaining, guests, and working from home. Natural light fills the gracious interiors, while beautifully proportioned formal and casual spaces flow seamlessly to the lush grounds. The garden is magical and the perfect escape to relax, enjoy, and entertain. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen featuring a commercial DCS range, custom hardwood cabinetry, and gorgeous stone countertops, opening naturally to the living and dining areas and the garden beyond. The grounds are a true extension of the home, with mature specimen trees, established plantings, expansive lawn, and inviting spaces for gathering. Featured in numerous publications, the garden has hosted intimate dinners, music, celebrations, charitable events, and neighborhood gatherings—reflecting a home that has been genuinely lived in, loved, and shared. Wonderfully private yet connected, this special property offers a rare combination of character, craftsmanship, and modern livability, just minutes from Berkeley, BART, regional parks, shops, restaurants, and the best of the greater Bay Area. Zoned for top-rated Madera Elementary School.
