Mediterranean paradise in the Berkeley Hills asks $4 million

A slice of LA in the Berkeley Hills, this stunning Mediterranean specimen looks more like the onetime home of a silent-screen star than it does a house in one of the state’s most intellectual cities. How refreshing.

Coming in at four bedrooms, four bathroom, and 4,010 square feet, 797 San Luis Road features garden courtyards, vaulted ceilings, exposed and painted (drool) beams, living room with musician’s balcony, arched windows, glass doors, and more.

It also has its own studio apartment and a pool. There are also a couple of decks for good measure, one glass with frosted elements. Interesting choice. Otherwise, the entire place is downright gorgeous. A rare treat, indeed.

Asking is $4,00,000.
