Perched in a lush and verdant hillside canyon just moments from the urban vibrancy of Rockridge and the Claremont district, this utterly unique estate-like retreat is a world unto itself. Hidden from the street and approached by a charming bridge spanning a gently babbling brook, the property unfolds as a magical compound of multiple structures nestled within enchanting park-like gardens, winding paths, and serene sitting areas. Rarely does a property offer such profound privacy, natural beauty, and architectural character so close to the best amenities of Berkeley and Oakland. At the heart of the property is an extensively renovated multi-level residence with soaring vaulted ceilings, dramatic two-story living spaces, walls of glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to expansive decks overlooking the lush grounds below. The 3++ bedroom main home is filled with light and tranquility, featuring beautifully updated kitchen and baths, a stunning primary suite immersed in nature, and enchanting outlooks from nearly every room accompanied by the sounds of birdsong and flowing water. A charming bonus cottage offers exceptional flexibility for guests, creative pursuits, multigenerational living, or income potential. A whimsical creekside office with guest bath provides yet another inspiring space tucked into the landscape. This extraordinary property offers a unique combination of natural serenity, architectural beauty, privacy, and convenience, just moments from the Claremont Club, Rockridge shops and cafés, BART, and easy access to San Francisco. A truly rare and magical sanctuary unlike anything else on the market. BESO SCORE 3
