1516 Grizzly Peak Blvd

This Eichler-inspired MidCentury is a light-filled sanctuary atop the Berkeley Hills, just above The Lawrence
Hall of Science, steps from endless Tilden Park attractions, and overlooking the Berkeley and Oakland
skylines and the South Bay. A rare “through-lot,” the property parcel runs from Grizzly Peak Blvd. in front to
a backyard gate opening onto the quiet cul de sac of Summit Road, placing it steps from acres of open space
and Centennial Drive into the heart of the UC campus and downtown Berkeley. Enjoy direct access by foot,
bike or vehicle to both the city and the wilderness, or come home to your own organic gardens, fruit trees,
and brood of egg-laying hens in the backyard coop. A nature-lover’s paradise -- away from it all, yet so close
to everything Berkeley.

Explore the neighborhood through these images, showcasing everything from local shops and dining to easy access to UC Berkeley, public transit, and more. See the convenience and charm of life in this vibrant community.

• The rooftop by the garage offers great stargazing and fireworks views and can easily be converted into a
  garden and relaxation area.
• We have an amazing viewpoint on the fog, watching it roll in and out like an ocean tide.
• We discovered that the walk from our back gate to the Lawrence Hall of Science via the lower summit
  staircase (The Wilson Walkway), is the perfect adventure for little ones and grandparents!
  
• This neighborhood is very diverse yet feels like family. An annual block party in the cul-de-sac has been
  going strong for over 50 years, many neighbors have lived there that long!
  
•  The garden is bliss in the spring and summer with prolific flowers blooming and sweet fragrances filling the
  air.
  
• Hummingbirds love to play in the water fountain by the front deck. They live in the trees along the fence lines
  and visit all day long.
  
• Winter smells like bay and eucalyptus trees from the nearby forest.
  
• Views from our home overlook Berkeley and south Oakland to the South Bay.
  
• During the summer the fog sweeps the homes along the hill peak like a wave in the evenings and recedes
  each morning—something marvellous and unique to our location. During the winter the home is most often
  above the fog line, getting sunshine while overlooking a sea of fog
