1464 Olympus Avenue sits on a quiet street in the Berkeley Hills with partial bay views, a beautifully hardscaped backyard, 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 separation from the street that is typical 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 standard in many 1950s Berkeley Hills homes. Below, a finished lower level offers flexible space for a second office, family den, or children's playroom. An adjacent unfinished basement and utility room provides abundant storage. 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. Mechanical systems are comprehensively updated: new roof with 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 (2022, VC Windows), and a 200-amp panel upgrade (2025, Fuse). Central A/C is uncommon in the Berkeley Hills and a meaningful benefit for buyers seeking year-round comfort without window units. Tilden Regional Park is close by for hiking and outdoor recreation. The 'ammatka Cafe at the Lawrence Hall of Science serves Ohlone-forward snacks, meals, and beverages with Bay views. The Overlook at the Tilden golf course is a short drive for weeknight dining: burgers, pizza, tacos, beer, and a fire pit. Visit an open house or contact your agent for a private showing.
