515 Cragmont Ave, Berkeley, CA 94708

Welcome to 515 Cragmont Avenue, where California modern style meets your dream home checklist. Step through the custom Spanish teak front door into a dramatic vaulted great room with original exposed beams, trusses, and a stone-clad gas fireplace, then turn to find Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco skyline, and bay views unfolding before you from the oversized front balcony. The open flow layout connects this great room to an ample dining space and custom kitchen outfitted with a Thermador appliance suite, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and backsplash, full wall of cabinetry, and a skylight that continuously floods the space with light from sunrise into evening fog. An oversized pantry, powder room, and cozy lounge complete the main level, along with a spacious en-suite bedroom offering flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, framing sweeping views of the Golden Gate, San Francisco skyline and bay above the treetops, with a walk-in closet and an oversized spa-quality bathroom with glass-enclosed wet area featuring a soaking tub, rainfall shower, dual vanity with custom mirrors and fixtures, designer tile and Kohler smart toilet. Two additional upper-level bedrooms are generously sized, one capturing the views and the other opening through sliding doors to the rear gardens. A full hallway bath serves both bedrooms, with a convenient exterior door providing guest access from the rear gardens. Outside, this home offers something genuinely rare at this elevation: a level and tiered backyard built for year-round enjoyment. An oversized ipe deck extends the living space directly from the home to the outdoors, seamlessly connecting to a level lawn anchored by a mature olive tree, perfect for play, gardening, or entertaining. An upper tier above offers a blank slate for a raised garden, petanque court, or simply a quiet perch to take in the views. This is a truly masterful renovation designed with an eye for the local aesthetic and limiting the worries of deferred maintenance. New systems include roof, seismic, foundation, electrical, and plumbing. EV charger ready, HES score=6, BESO certification pending, and WUI compliant. Set in a heritage Berkeley Hills neighborhood known for its excellent schools, walking trails, and tight-knit community, 515 Cragmont Avenue offers a rare combination of views, turnkey luxury, and lifestyle.
