Description

Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Claremont Hills, this reimagined modern "treehouse" offers a rare sense of tranquility surrounded by soaring redwoods, canyon vistas, and the calming beauty of nature--just minutes from the best of Berkeley and Oakland. Thoughtfully redesigned from the inside out, the home blends warm modern style with an organic, relaxed feel inspired by its woodsy setting. The main level unfolds as a bright, open living space where walls of glass, curated finishes, and natural textures create a seamless connection to the outdoors. A beautifully remodeled kitchen anchors the home, while a newly built deck floats among the trees, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The spa-inspired main bath features a deep soaking tub and serene, retreat-like ambiance. Upstairs, a private bedroom and sunlit roof deck offer the perfect setting for a home office, creative studio, or peaceful primary retreat. The lower level includes laundry, generous storage, and two tranquil en suite bedrooms, each opening to its own private balcony nestled in the redwoods. At the end of the street, enjoy direct access to beloved Garber Park Nature Reserve, where winding trails, streams, and frequent deer sightings make everyday walks feel worlds away. Moments from Elmwood, College Avenue, and Rockridge BART, this is a rare opportunity to experience elevated hillside living in one of the East Bay's most sought-after neighborhoods.

Claremont Hills

The Best of the Berkeley Hills, Just Minutes from It All

Set within the coveted Claremont Hills, 1053 Rispin Drive offers a rare balance of natural beauty, architectural character, and close proximity to some of the East Bay’s most vibrant destinations. Tucked among mature redwoods and winding hillside streets, this pocket of the Berkeley Hills is known for its peaceful, woodsy setting while remaining remarkably connected to everyday conveniences.

Just minutes away, the Elmwood District offers a charming mix of neighborhood cafés, acclaimed restaurants, local boutiques, and historic movie theaters along College Avenue. Nearby Rockridge adds another layer of energy and convenience, with its highly regarded dining scene, Market Hall, and easy access to BART for commuters heading into San Francisco or throughout the Bay Area.

Outdoor recreation and wellness are woven into daily life here. Residents enjoy close access to regional parks, hiking trails, and the iconic Claremont Club & Spa, A Fairmont Hotel, known for its tennis, swimming, spa amenities, and historic presence overlooking the East Bay.

The location also places you near some of the area’s most respected academic and cultural institutions, including University of California, Berkeley, with its world-renowned campus, performing arts venues, botanical gardens, and year-round lectures and events.

What makes the Claremont Hills especially compelling is the contrast it offers: a quiet, canyon-like atmosphere surrounded by nature, paired with quick access to Berkeley, Oakland, and major commuter routes. It’s a setting that feels tucked away, yet deeply connected to the best of the Inner East Bay.
