"Wake up every morning to sweeping views of the Bay, San Francisco, and the Golden Gate — just minutes from UC Berkeley campus."
Perched high in the Berkeley Hills, the Panoramic House is a truly one-of-a-kind retreat that combines rustic warmth, breathtaking natural beauty, and an unbeatable location for anyone connected to UC Berkeley. Graduate students, visiting faculty, and Sabbatical Homes guests will find this the perfect Berkeley base — just a short walk or quick drive down the hill to campus, while feeling a world away from it all.
The home is wrapped in rich redwood siding and cedar paneling throughout, with soaring vaulted ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and walls of glass that frame jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Bay, San Francisco skyline, and Golden Gate Bridge from virtually every room. The spacious open-plan living area flows seamlessly from the kitchen — with its charming tile counters and stainless appliances — out to the main wrap-around deck, where you can sip your morning coffee or evening wine while watching the fog roll across the Bay below.
Three well-appointed bedrooms offer a lovely mix of character, including a room with beautiful Japanese shoji sliding doors, all bathed in natural light with views of the surrounding forest and hills. The master bathroom is a genuine showstopper: a deep soaking tub positioned directly beneath a large picture window so you can bathe while gazing out across the entire Bay. A second full vanity area and a charming half-bath with a distinctive octagonal forest window complete the home’s unique personality. In-unit laundry and a gas BBQ on the deck make for a fully self-sufficient stay.
Ideal for: UC Berkeley visiting professors, graduate students on fellowship, Sabbatical Homes guests, Cal Rentals tenants, and families or groups seeking an unforgettable Berkeley Hills experience with unparalleled views.
