1328 Summit Rd, Berkeley, CA 94708-2139

Property Description

Big. Bold. Beautiful. Breathtaking views. Perched in the Berkeley Hills, 1328 Summit Road is a fully reimagined 4-bedroom, 3-bath sanctuary plus an additional legal 1-bed, 1-bath ADU, where indoor & outdoor living dissolve into one offering you 2698 square feet of pure beauty & flexibility. Intentional architecture opens to unobstructed panoramas from nearly every room: the Bay, the SF skyline, & all three bridges, Golden Gate, Bay, and Richmond. Arrive through a private walled garden with drought-tolerant landscaping and built-in mahogany seating. Inside, Scandinavian-inspired interiors unfold through soft architectural curves, engineered hardwood floors, and oversized windows. The open living, dining, and kitchen are anchored by white oak cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, induction cooktop, and terrazzo wet bar. A flexible front room with double pocket doors and designer Swedish wallpaper functions as office or bedroom. A guest bath & serene, color-drenched blue bedroom complete the effortless single-level main floor. Below, two primary suites sit side by side—each with walk-in closets, exposed beams, and sliding glass doors to a shared view deck. A flex lounge with a statement glass block wall serves as library, media room, or reading nook. The spa-inspired primary bath is the signature moment: artisan kiln-fired clay tile flows from inside to a private mahogany-enclosed outdoor soaking tub and shower. A moody, custom-outfitted laundry room completes the level. The fully permitted ADU lives independently with private entrance, full kitchen, built-in reading nook, covered lower deck, and the same unparalleled views, ideal for an au pair, extended family, or rental income. Outside, terraced grounds cascade down the hillside via redwood stairs, open-air rooms with multiple decks, a built-in grill, and garden paths framed by drought-resistant plantings. Quiet mornings to sunset gatherings, rolling hills as backdrop. Beneath the beauty, serious infrastructure, built with resilience and the future in mind. A new metal roof, new windows, new HVAC heat pump, updated electrical and plumbing, and more. Thoughtfully curated defensible space and drought-tolerant landscaping protect what matters. Fully electric and EV-ready, with a two-car garage and only one direct neighbor. A rare convergence of architectural clarity, privacy, and immediate access to nature. This is the unicorn. It has been waiting for you. P.S. BESO exempt, Electric home, what more could you ask for?
