Abundant outdoor living space includes a garden patio as well as two large decks with views from the north bay to the south bay, as well as downtown San Francisco, downtown Oakland and downtown Berkeley. This downsloping home is separated from the street above by a walled Japanese garden, giving it a private, retreat-like feel. The home underwent some technological upgrades August 2022 and February 2023. The living room now features motorized roller shades, please use the remote control mounted on the wall to the left. The HVAC system was replaced with a modern, highly efficient, electric heat pump, offering: air conditioning, heating, and greater indoor air quality via a MERV 13 air filter that can capture smaller mold, smoke, and allergen pollutants in addition to bacteria and virus particles. In 2023, the home's water heater was upgraded from gas to a highly efficient heat pump, bringing this home one appliance closer to being a climate-conscious all-electric home.

Beautiful place. Extremely clean. Beautiful views and even better than the pictures. The host was very friendly and accommodating. They gave us an early check in on a very short notice. Never had to contact them as everything was perfect. Would love to stay here again.
