Berkeley/$1.895 million
1245 Glen Ave. Beds: 4 Baths: 3 Square footage: 1,879
This shingled midcentury enjoys unobstructed vistas of the Berkeley Rose Garden and filtered glimpses of the bay. Wide-plank, pegged oak flooring spans the interior as a cathedral ceiling towers over the living room and mahogany panels the library. Landscape architect Michael Boyd — whose work is part of a permanent collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art — meticulously sculpted the grounds. The listing includes a pool house with a powder room. Learn more at www.1245glen.com.
