Description

Breathtaking Bay Views
And a UC Berkeley Physicist History

From the moment you enter, the sweeping vistas of the Bay—spanning multiple bridges and the San Francisco skyline—command your attention. Classic architectural details lend warmth and character: an original working doorbell, rich hardwood floors throughout, two brick fireplaces, elegant wrought-iron banisters, and graciously scaled living and dining rooms oriented toward the captivating view.

Thoughtful, high-quality updates in September 2026 enhance the home’s comfort and functionality. The kitchen features new quartz countertops, and the interior has been freshly painted. Modern safety updates include newly installed electrical wiring throughout the entire home (August 2026), a whole-house water shut-off sensor and an automatic gas shut-off valve.

The flexible floor plan offers numerous possibilities. The upstairs level includes two bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level is anchored by an expansive primary suite with ensuite bath and sliding glass doors opening to the backyard deck, along with a laundry room and a third bathroom with a separate side entrance—ideal for multi-generational living, guest quarters, or a private home office.

And what are the odds that not one, but two distinguished physicists would call the same Berkeley residence home? The current owner, a tenured UC Berkeley Physics professor, has spent years lecturing about William Rarita, the renowned Manhattan Project physicist—only to discover that Rarita and his wife owned 752 Grizzly Peak Boulevard from the early 1960s until 2013. It suddenly makes perfect sense: close to the world‑class campus, yet a sublime sanctuary to return to at the end of the day.

All of this is set in a premier Berkeley Hills location in close proximity to Tilden’s many hiking trails and natural beauty, along with various hill walking paths that wind down to campus and city neighborhoods. Convenient access by car or bus to the UC Berkeley campus, downtown, and the city’s vibrant neighborhood commercial districts.

Berkeley Hills

Spectacular bay views, ample trees, and impressive homes, one of the most desirable places in East Bay.

Welcome to Berkeley Hills

With its spectacular bay views, ample trees, and impressive homes, the Berkeley Hills is one of the most desirable places to live in the East Bay.
 
Architecturally, it's a rich smorgasbord of Craftsman bungalows, ranch houses, Italian-style villas, Spanish farmhouses, and Tudor manors. (The neighborhoods around Southampton Avenue are particularly abundant in period revival architecture.) Renowned 20th-century architects such as Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, and John Galen Howard made contributions here, imbuing the landscape with a sense of history and permanence.
 
Although there is little in the way of commercial businesses in the hills, an extensive network of pathways and staircases link hills residents to amenities in North Berkeley. Hills residents also have access to numerous parks and green spaces. Locals can often be found rock climbing at Indian Rock Park, enjoying Bernard Maybeck's fragrant Rose Walk, or picnicking at the Berkeley Rose Garden, considered by many to be the finest rose garden in Northern California.
 
Other area favorites include the UC Botanical Garden and the Lawrence Hall of Science, where children can enjoy hands-on educational activities. Tilden Park, which has a delightful merry-go-round and steam train, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of the East Bay park system.
 
When the fog rolls in off the Pacific, shrouding the hillside in a mysterious mist, no place else feels more tranquil or transporting.
