Welcome home to this one-of-a-kind East Bay treasure located in North Berkeley’s world-renowned Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood, a highly desirable pocket in which homes rarely come to market and are often passed down between generations. Situated just five minutes from the UC Berkeley campus and within walking distance of the area’s iconic restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping, the newly built home was expanded by an award-winning local team into the showcase it is today.

A striking California poppy mural complements the home’s understated exterior, leading visitors into a space breathtaking in its scope, design, and finishes. The foothills home sits on a rare, expansive, level lot amid lush landscaping, surrounded by decks, patios, and seating areas against the backdrop of a redwood-shaded Codornices Creek waterfall.

The warm, minimalist home encompasses 4,432 square feet over two levels, starting with an open main floor that segues from spacious living and dining rooms into the sun-filled chef’s kitchen with its soaring eleven-foot ceiling, quartz countertops, generous island and breakfast bar, abundant storage, and professional-grade appliances. Z-fold glass doors open to a wrap-around deck with a raised kitchen garden and multiple seating areas that enable a true indoor-outdoor California lifestyle. The upper floor also includes two bedrooms, one full and one half bath, and a study/home office (potential fifth bedroom) configured with its own entrance, perfect for a private practice.

The home’s first-floor garden level affords a spacious family room, half bath, oversized laundry room, and two additional bedrooms. The sophisticated primary retreat includes a luxurious ensuite bathroom and custom-designed walk-in closet as well as a French door opening to a covered patio, all surrounded by butterfly- and bee-friendly landscaping with sculpture and irrigated container plantings. A second suite on this level offers a full bathroom, a spacious bedroom, and a living area with enormous glass doors to the patio. With a kitchenette, dedicated laundry hookups, and its own entrance, this fabulous space can seamlessly function as an in-law dwelling, guest quarters, or income-generating rental, allowing true ADU flexibility without sacrificing the single-family feel of the home. Other features include 7-zone radiant heating, Smart Home systems, an EV charger, and rooftop solar with home battery backup.

A truly rare find, 2241 Glen Ave. is an elegant, sophisticated, state-of-the-art contemporary in which no expense has been spared, all in a highly sought-after Berkeley location with close proximity to the very best the city has to offer.
