From the Agent: "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. It also features hardwood floors, extensive wood trim, concrete countertops, and a natural stone tile backsplash. The midcentury design has been substantially improved over the years with modern conveniences and highly efficient technologies. Voice-controlled European rolling shutters protect the house 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 when the windows are closed with minimal change to the indoor temperature, while a new tankless water heater provides on-demand hot water. The combination of location, style, views, size, and amenities makes 8 Indian Rock Path a rare real estate opportunity."
The renovated residence is perched at the end of a long, paved driveway, amidst tall trees, thick greenery, and an immense boulder.
