655 Vistamont Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94708

Description

A spectacular rebuild in the Berkeley Hills, where mid-century lines meet warm Scandinavian minimalism. The 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom main house is paired with a two-level ADU with its own kitchen and bath, creating a rare, beautifully executed compound. Vaulted ceilings set the tone, while skylights throughout pull in a wash of natural light, animating the home from morning to dusk. A custom kitchen anchors the plan, outfitted with an induction range and Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and dishwashers, flowing seamlessly into dining and living spaces designed for both ease and occasion. Glass does the heavy lifting. The sunken living room, bedrooms, and ADU open wide to decks and curated outdoor spaces, including a fully retracting LaCantina door in the ADU. The effect is fluid indoor-outdoor living with just enough separation to feel intentional. The primary suite is pure calm, with artisan wood-paneled walls, canyon views, and direct deck access. Two of the main-house bathrooms feature custom Kerf vanities, adding a layer of tailored design. Nearly every surface has been reimagined, with solar, A/C, a heat pump water heater, and EV charging delivering serious efficiency. Set on a tucked-away cul-de-sac, the home is a sanctuary, with layered outdoor living, new redwood fencing, and a finished garage with epoxy floors and storage. The ADU offers an upstairs office, while the lower level is designed for maximum flexibility, featuring ingeniously crafted custom storage with a Murphy bed, concealed TV, and pull-out desk that allows the space to shift effortlessly from living to work to guest retreat. Private, sophisticated, and crafted with care, this is a home that lives as beautifully as it looks. 10 out of 10 home energy score.
