Remarks

Celebrated architect Roger Lee designed this stunning home for Beverly Cleary, the famed children’s author. The current (and only second) owners have lovingly maintained the home for over 50 years, keeping the original details intact and even the original architectural plan set. This mid-century modern gem boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, with AMAZING VIEWS and incredible details throughout. The open floor-plan and level-in rear yard are perfect for entertaining. All of this sits on an enormous 15,960 sqft lot, providing ample space for gardening or outdoor activities. Situated in the coveted Berkeley Hills, this property offers the best of both worlds - tranquility and convenience. Just minutes to downtown Berkeley, Solano Ave and Cal, one can enjoy all that the area has to offer while still being able to retreat to a peaceful oasis. An architectural masterpiece in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Berkeley.
