Property Description
Tucked away at the end of a long driveway, almost entirely hidden from the street, 1245 Glen Avenue offers a rare opportunity to experience North Berkeley from a different perspective. Set on approximately 17,000 square feet of lush, secluded grounds adjoining the historic Berkeley Rose Garden, this distinctive 1952 residence combines exceptional privacy, expansive outdoor living, and a fascinating connection to Berkeley's architectural and cultural history. The property unfolds as a private retreat, with mature trees, richly planted gardens, a swimming pool, cabana, and inviting patios. A tiled deck overlooks the Rose Garden's celebrated terraces, creating a setting that feels worlds away from the city, yet remains close to North Berkeley's shops, restaurants, parks, and cultural attractions. The main living level features three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, with an understated character reflecting the home's mid-century origins. Natural light and garden views enhance the living spaces, while the surrounding grounds invite relaxation and entertaining. A separately accessed lower level offers additional living space with a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
