About this home
1464 Olympus Avenue sits on a quiet street in the Berkeley Hills with partial bay views, a beautifully hardscaped backyard by Jarvis Architects, and more than $400,000 in capital improvements completed between 2020 and 2025. For a buyer who wants to move in without an immediate project list, this property delivers. At street level, a two-car garage provides secure, off-street parking. A gated entry leads down stairs to the main entrance, offering a sense of arrival and separation from the street that is characteristic of the best hillside properties. The home centers on single-level living. Three of the four bedrooms share the main floor in an open floor plan that connects the kitchen and living spaces to the backyard through a natural, uninterrupted flow. The fourth bedroom, bright with clerestory windows and slightly elevated, works well as a dedicated home office, guest suite, or creative studio. Laundry was recently relocated to the main living level, removing the basement trip that was standard in many 1950s Berkeley Hills homes and adding meaningful daily convenience. Below the main floor, a finished lower level provides additional flexible space suited to a second home office, family den, or children's playroom. An adjacent unfinished basement and utility room offers abundant storage. The backyard represents the largest single investment and the most visible transformation. Close to $200,000 was spent across 2023 and 2024 on professional landscaping and structural hardscape: leveled lawn areas, a paver terrace, engineered retaining walls, updated drainage, Ipe stairs and railings, perimeter fencing, and an under-deck waterproof membrane. The structural work addresses the hillside stability and drainage concerns that matter to buyers in this part of Berkeley. The result is an outdoor living space that is structurally sound and designed for both everyday use and easy entertaining. The mechanical systems reflect the same pattern of comprehensive updating: new roof including slope modification (2020, IB Roofing), 2-stage furnace and central A/C with MERV-13 filtration (2020, Haddon), tankless water heater (2020), seismic retrofit (2021, Ward Construction), window replacement to address water intrusion with no wall damage found (2022, VC Windows), and a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade (2025, Fuse). Most improvements are permitted with receipts on file. Home Energy Score: 5....
