Description

Steilberg-designed Spanish estate: exquisitely restored and elevated, with private community pool and courts in North Berkeley! THE FEELING: A home imagined nearly a century ago that somehow feels entirely of the moment. Vaulted ceilings, leaded glass, and French doors opening to a Thomas Church garden. Old-world glamour and California ease, living side by side. THE HOUSE: Built 1929, designed by Walter Steilberg. 4 Bedrooms all on one level, 3.5 Bathrooms, 4154 SQFT. Palatial primary suite with dedicated dressing room. Two-car garage. BESO compliant. San Luis Court Homes Association membership included. THE X-FACTOR: Designed by Walter Steilberg — Julia Morgan's protégé and structural engineer — this is architectural provenance of the highest order. The grounds carry equal distinction, laid out by legendary landscape architect Thomas Church. And behind the property: a private neighborhood pool, tennis, pickleball, basketball, and picnic area that few Berkeley homes can claim. DESIGN LANGUAGE: Vaulted and beamed great room ceiling. Classic black and white diamond entry tiling. Arched hallway with period wainscoting. Toile wallpaper in the formal dining room. Marble counters, backsplashes, and vanities throughout. Brass fixtures and custom finishes at every turn. Quarry stone back patio. THE HEART OF THE HOME: A fully reimagined kitchen, butler's pantry, and den forming the social center of the house. Cook at a chef's kitchen while guests gather at the marble island, eat in the casual dining nook, or spill onto the sunny patio through French doors. The butler's pantry echoes the kitchen's finishes, and the den offers built-in bookshelves and a natural place to land. EVERYDAY LIFE: Entertaining by a massive fireplace with doors open to the garden. Weekends at the neighborhood pool steps away. A primary suite that functions as a private retreat: dressing room, balcony, spa bath. Three secondary bedrooms on same level as primary bedroom; one en-suite. SYSTEMS & PEACE OF MIND: Comprehensive permitted renovation throughout: new heat pump HVAC condensers, tankless water heaters, new insulation, new electrical and smart switches throughout. French drain system, new concrete driveway with proper grading. THE COMMUNITY: San Luis Court Homes Association — private pool, tennis, pickleball, basketball, picnic areas, and stone fire pit. OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR: Short drive to BART. World-class dining, academia, shopping, and parks nearby. Home energy score: 8 Views: Ridge
