A rare opportunity to restore a beloved Berkeley Hills home that has remained in the same family since 1940. Built in 1938, this 3 BD 2+ BA sits on a generous 6,750 SF upslope lot in one of Berkeley's most desirable neighborhoods, offering Bay views, character and exceptional potential. Inside, you'll find surprisingly level floors and beautiful original random-plank hardwood flooring, along with touches of its Art Deco heritage. The interior has been well cared for, making it easy to appreciate the home's solid bones and envision its next chapter. A functioning elevator provides access from the garage to both living levels-an uncommon feature that offers convenience and long-term flexibility. It's easy to imagine opening the kitchen, dining, and living spaces to better capture the partial Bay views and create the kind of light-filled great room so many seek. Just a few doors away is beloved Remillard Park, with lawns and dramatic rock outcroppings and is popular with climbers, children and dogs. It is one of Berkeley Hills' hidden gems. The home is livable and benefits from a recently redone roof but is being sold in its present condition and will require significant updating, including foundation work and replacement of older systems.

Set behind a fenced front garden with a mature oak and a cherry tree, 1010 Keeler Avenue offers mid-century flair and a layout that just makes sense. Loved by the same family for six decades, the home comes to market for the first time in a generation. The entry is level - no steps - and opens to an updated eat-in kitchen that flows into a spacious living and dining room with access to a deck. The main level offers true single-level living: three good-sized bedrooms and two baths, including an en-suite, all on the entry floor. Both bathrooms have been updated (check out the cool floor tile!) while keeping touches of their original character. Downstairs, a fourth bedroom and bath give guests their own quarters, alongside a generous family room - complete with built-in bookshelves - that opens to a second deck. A hobby room rounds out the lower level, a flexible space waiting for your ideas - studio, videogame den, wine room, you name it. A separate exterior entrance to part of the lower level offers future ADU potential - extended family, home office, or income possibilities down the road. The indoor-outdoor flow works on both levels. The fenced front garden catches the morning sun - an ideal spot to sit with coffee or the paper - while decks off both the main living room and

Built in 2022 on Berkeley's coveted Maybeck Twin Drive, this incomparable 4+BD, 4BA, 3623 SQFT home with a full-service apartment is a modern interpretation of the neighborhood's storied architectural heritage. Designed by Goring & Straja Architects, engineered for the hillside by soils engineer Alan Kropp and seismic specialist AJ Miller, this is serious California modern design built in the spirit of Bernard Maybeck's own principles: let the topography dictate the house, honor light, and always keep the eye moving between inside and outside. The result feels like it grew from the hill itself. A covered wraparound terrace and patio atrium invite you to sit and take in the Bay with the occasional chime of UC Berkeley's Campanile wafting in from across the canyon. Inside, the open floor plan is anchored by a central fireplace and vaulted ceilings, with glass accordion doors folding completely open to a balcony with Bay views, constructed using Maybeck design principals. Entertain in the dining area, cook in the chef's kitchen with high-end appliances and marble countertops, or settle into the living room with the Bay as your backdrop. Hidden Bluetooth speakers, French doors to the backyard, and a generous family room with balcony access make the main level feel expansive and alive
