436 Panoramic Way is an incomplete reconstruction of a home built in 1939-40, on the same footprint.  Most of the heavy work has been done to create a shell, with 2X6 framing at the basement level, 2X4 framing at the main level, and 3/4 ply sheathing for all the siding and subfloors, except the basement, which is concrete.  The roofing is 15-year-old asphalt shingles over 1/2 plywood sheathing.  And the windows, also 15 years old, are dual paned. Mailing address Berkeley, but taxes and schools are Oakland. Neither seller nor Listing Agents have verified square footage.

This thoughtful idea offers views, lovely natural surroundings, and a trail to hiking every day. This house does require additional design and cash only. There is no conventional lending available for this house. It requires a future vision for a unique kind of living. It currently needs all standard living requirements, well except a view.

The location is still a pleasure, but it's just about ready to see your thoughts for an exceptional future. It is a life choice project. Call a contractor to view the property with you, you have probably been looking for this situation. Send them the website and talk about the location. Then call us to discuss possibilities.
