This spectacular 4,432-sf retreat is a one-of-a-kind East Bay treasure located in North Berkeley's world-renowned Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood. Within a stone's throw of the area's iconic restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping, the newly built home was expanded by an award-winning local team into the showcase it is today. In the foothills on a rare, expansive level lot, the sun-soaked property is backed by a redwood-shaded Codornices Creek waterfall. The home features 5BRs, 3 full and 2 half-baths, an enormous family room, a home office, and an oversized laundry room. The open main floor segues from living and dining room into the chef's kitchen with its soaring 11-ft ceiling, quartz countertops, a generous island with breakfast bar, and high-end appliances, a true entertainer's dream. The primary is a private retreat with luxurious ensuite bath and custom walk-in closet. The bright garden-level in-law suite has a kitchenette, full bath, laundry hookups, and private entrance, providing true ADU flexibility without sacrificing the home's single-family feel. Other features include 7-zone radiant heating, Smart Home system, an EV charger, and rooftop solar with home battery backup. Abundant decks and patios afford indoor-outdoor living amid lush, mature landscaping. Truly exceptional in every way! Home Energy Score of 10.
