1375 Alvarado Rd

Nestled in a hillside canyon overlooking mature oaks, this light-filled split-level home was designed by iconic architect Tom Lowe, whose signature down-slope homes helped define the architectural character of the Oakland and Berkeley hills. Following the terrain and maximizing light and views, soaring ceilings and walls of glass create a seamless connection to the outdoors. The open floor plan connects living spaces to upper and lower decks that capture city, bridge and canyon views. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas. The upstairs bedrooms sit a few steps above, creating natural separation. Downstairs, a spacious family room plus bedroom, full bath, and laundry provide flexible space. A secluded deck with Jacuzzi offers a quiet retreat. Minutes to parks, Claremont shops and dining, and BART. Per county assessor, property is in Oakland, with Berkeley mailing address.
