About 5 Dorothy Pl
Tucked away near the end of a quiet and safe cul-de-sac in Berkeley’s coveted Grand View District, 5 Dorothy Place offers a rare opportunity to experience serene, elegant living in the hills. Tranquility truly transcends every inch of this impeccably maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, built in 1995 and lovingly cared for throughout its history. Surrounded on two sides by natural woodland and buffered by a tall hedge on another, this home offers a level of privacy and seclusion that is increasingly hard to find. Please note, no pets are accepted. The home is expansive without ever feeling overwhelming. Facing west toward San Francisco Bay, the view is simply breathtaking. From Mt. Tamalpais, across the Golden Gate, and stretching southward, the ever-changing light and sky bring a daily sense of awe. There is no formal front yard, but a level driveway and spacious front patio create a welcoming entry and functional outdoor space. As you step through the grand entryway with its tall ceilings and tiled floors, you’re greeted by an impressive, sunlit view through soaring windows that frame the Bay perfectly. The elegant living room features rich hardwood floors, a classic brick fireplace, and bay windows that flood the space with light. Adjoining this is a formal dining room, where vintage charm meets contemporary comfort. The open layout flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen, a space thoughtfully designed for both everyday meals and entertaining. Here, tile counters, warm wood cabinetry, recessed lighting, and modern appliances create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. From the eat-in area to the breakfast bar and wine shelf, every detail has been considered. Two spacious bedrooms are located on the main floor, along with two full bathrooms, including a primary suite that offers not just comfort but thoughtful extras like a wet bar. The third bedroom, located upstairs, enjoys its own elevated view of the Bay, providing privacy and a quiet retreat within the home. Throughout, crown moulding and hardwood floors add a sense of refinement and continuity. On the lower level, the finished garage includes laundry facilities. There is a small separate in-law unit being separately rented on the ground floor that has a separate entrance. The home’s location is a true standout. Rockridge BART is just five minutes away, and AC Transit offers service along Hiller Drive to downtown Oakland, San Francisco, and beyond. For those who participate in the casual carpool, access is convenient via Hiller and Broadway Terrace. Montclair Village, with its shopping, coffee shops, and restaurants, is just down the hill, and nearby Piedmont and Rockridge provide even more options for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Highly rated public and private schools, UC Berkeley, Kaiser and Summit Alta Bates hospitals are all within close reach. This home is more than just a rental—it’s a rare and refined sanctuary in the Berkeley Hills, combining timeless design, thoughtful amenities, and a location that connects you to the very best of the Bay Area.
