This updated home with a host of modern features incorporates the natural landscape into the property design. The siting of the home offers unobstructed views of the bay, rare for a lower foothills Berkeley home. The home also features luminous hardwood floors, extensive wood trim, concrete countertops, and a natural stone tile backsplash.

The mid-century design has been substantially improved over the years with modern conveniences and highly efficient technologies. In addition to the typical smart home features such as wired Ethernet connections throughout the home, Nest thermostats, a solar-powered and Wi-Fi-controlled Netro sprinkler system, and an electric vehicle Level 2 charger, the property features some truly marvelous comfort measures.

Voice-controlled European rolling shutters protect the home from excessive heat and heat pump mini-splits in several of the bedrooms offer both energy efficiency and lower utility bills, along with year-round heating and cooling. Updated ducting with four heat recovery ventilators allows fresh outside air to circulate within the house when the windows are closed with minimal change to the indoor temperature, while a new tankless water heater provides unlimited, on-demand hot water.

Visitors to the property are welcomed by a flagstone path of Utah Sunrise flagstone and Temescal decomposed granite. Just beyond the walkway is a Gaudi-inspired terrace with inlaid mosaic tile in a custom cement bench and table area with spectacular Golden Gate views. This is a particularly special touch that enhances the uniqueness of the property. The property is also surrounded by a custom-designed redwood fence which provides privacy.

The combination of location, style, views, size, and amenities makes 8 Indian Rock Path a once-in-a-lifetime real estate opportunity. A property like this does not come on the market often, and for the discerning buyer who values beauty, convenience, modernity, and perhaps even bragging rights, this is a home not to be missed.
