252 The Uplands

Discover a rare architectural gem in Berkeley’s coveted Uplands neighborhood. Designed by architect Lyman Jee for his family, this sun-filled home is a private retreat that seamlessly blends design, nature, and tranquility. Set on a serene, oak-studded parcel, the home is introduced by a distinctive copper roof and a stained-wood footbridge spanning a rippling creek—a magical entry that sets the stage for what’s inside. Soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create an inviting interior that frames the lush, landscaped surroundings. With three bedrooms, three full baths, & exceptional indoor-outdoor flow, this home was designed for both relaxation & entertaining. Step outside to the pool & hot tub for resort-style living, or enjoy the peaceful connection to nature from every room. The location offers the best of Berkeley living: Close to Claremont Resort, Fournee, Peets, the Elmwood’s charming shops and cafés, transbay transit, and it’s just minutes from UC Berkeley. A stunning piece of architecture, this home is ready for its next discerning owner who values design, tranquility, and a truly unique setting.
