Classic and peaceful Park Hills retreat
Welcome to 16 Muir Way, a tranquil, traditional one-level home with serene views of Tilden Park. Part of the Park Hills Homes Association, a neighborhood within the Berkeley Hills, east of Grizzly Peak, designed by Mason McDuffie. The neighborhood is comprised of 220 homes, built between 1939 and 1952. It offers several parks and walking paths and features an entrance and fountain designed by architect, William Wurster. With Tilden Park, Lake Anza, Lawrence Hall of Science, Tilden Park Golf Course, The Botanical Gardens and public transit close by, this location is superb. The location coupled with the home’s practical one- level floorplan, thoughtful separation of space and comfortable level out access to the yard, makes 16 Muir Way an exceptional property.
T and J purchased this home 59 years ago, just 15 years after it was built. The views of Tilden Park from the primary bedroom drew them to the house and they loved the majestic tree that graces the front yard, the proximity of the house to Tilden Park, and how quickly they could get to shops from this peaceful retreat. Neighbors shared that J loved walking their energetic dog throughout the neighborhood along with other neighbors, and that their presence in the neighborhood for so many decades is missed.
