A Berkeley Hills mid-century original, properly introduced for the first time. 140 Panoramic Way was originally built for Berkeley Hills designer Louise Rigg, created in collaboration with local architect Carl Groch, and one of the rare examples of their residential vocabulary still intact in the hills. Rigg's fingerprints are throughout: copper fireplace details, hand-glazed tile work, clerestory windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls and doors, all oriented deliberately toward one of the most dramatic and desirable outlooks in the East Bay. That outlook spans the full bay, the San Francisco and Oakland skylines, the water, the bridges, the hills, shifting with the light from morning through sunset. After dark it becomes something else entirely: descending the stairs from the top floor, the whole bay opens up in lights, sparkling from the skylines to the bridges. The living room, with its cathedral ceilings and open-beam construction, was designed to showcase the architecture. Step through to the living room deck, and the panorama opens even further. Three bedrooms and two baths across two levels, plus two additional bonus rooms that adapt easily to office, library, or guest use. Below, a 1,200-square-foot open basement, still above the treeline, still with views, offers genuine expansion potential: a studio, an ADU, a workshop, or simply the kind of unfinished space that a house this distinctive deserves to have in reserve. Along the east side of the property, a stand of mature oaks rises close to the house, enormous and quietly commanding, filtering the light and giving that side its own shaded, sheltered character. Beyond them the landscape is natural and largely wild, the kind of hillside setting that makes the indoors feel continuous with the land rather than imposed upon it. On an 11,800-square-foot lot, with a fenced yard and a covered two-car carport with EV charging, the house is as practical as it is considered. This is a house with a story, and for the first time, that story is being told. Home Energy Score of 6.

Perched in the Berkeley hills, this North Berkeley beauty blends Spanish Mediterranean character with a distinctive, whimsical spirit all its own. 3 bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms sit above warm hardwood floors that run throughout the home. Step inside to gracious formal living and dining rooms, anchored by a raised, beautifully curved kiva designed fireplace and enriched by lovely wall and window details. A generous deck just off the living and dining rooms opens to sweeping views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, the kind of setting that makes morning coffee or an evening sunset feel like a ritual worth savoring. The home flows naturally from its elegant formal spaces into a remodeled kitchen with a wonderfully generous pantry. Outside, a meandering garden unfolds across an unusually large, sprawling lot, part formal, part whimsical, and always enchanting. Seasonal plantings reveal new surprises throughout the year, while a winding path leads to a private outdoor seating area that feels like its own artistic little oasis, perfect for leisurely weekend barbecues, entertaining friends, or quiet evenings surrounded by the garden. And then there is the lower level, a true point of difference. The entire floor can function as a private primary retreat, complete with its own office, spacious bathroom with Talavera tile and an exceptional primary suite with a walk-in closet all tucked peacefully away from the rest of the home. Or reimagine the space as a lower level in law unit or au pair retreat: private, quiet, and generously proportioned, with a sense of independence all its own. A bonus library office off the lower level adds even more flexibility, ideal for remote work or quiet study. It is a wonderfully adaptable home, something few properties can offer. Practical updates include AC, updated Roof & more. 740 Keeler Avenue sits in the North Berkeley hills, close enough to walk to a bus stop yet tucked away with that sought after hillside quiet. This is classic North Berkeley living, minutes to the shops, cafes, and Saturday morning energy of Solano Avenue, an easy stretch to Monterey Market and the Gourmet Ghetto, and close to the trails and open space of Tilden Regional Park and Indian Rock Park. UC Berkeley, downtown Berkeley, and easy access into San Francisco are all within reach, making this a rare combination of hillside retreat and everyday convenience. Whimsical, flexible, & genuinely magical, ready for its next chapter. Home energy score 4.
