893 Santa Barbara Rd

This charming Tudor-style house in the Berkeley Hills has storybook quality with its steeply pitched roof, and earth tone exterior. A graceful awning shelters the entrance, adding both character and protection from the weather. The facade combines stucco, dark wood details, and multi-pane windows creating the picturesque English-cottage appearance often associated with Berkeley's historic hillside homes. Flagstone steps and a tiled stairway leads through an iron gate to a deck and front entrance. An open entry hall welcomes you and leads you to the dining room and the living room. The dramatic living room has a vaulted ceiling, chandelier, head on views of the Golden Gate Bridge, a fireplace, and hardwood floors. The gracious dining room has built-in cabinets with French doors leading to the beautiful yard. The French country kitchen, with Carrera marble counters, high-end appliances, custom cabinets, recessed lighting, and a breakfast space has French doors to the garden. The second floor features three bedrooms, two and one-half baths and beautiful lighting throughout. The primary bedroom suite has Bay views, a chandelier, architectural archways, nooks, ample closets, and a remodeled bathroom. Two other spacious bedrooms are connected to a sweetheart bathroom. The lower level has a tiled floor, room with laundry, toilet, cabinets, and lots of storage. The garage has lots of room for storage and one car, with additional room to park in the driveway. The landscaped backyard has patios on two levels. The house feels especially at home among the mature trees and winding streets of the Berkeley Hills. A short distance to Grotto Rock Park gives you views of the entire Bay Area.
