Property Description

Prominently sited on Buena Vista Way, the Hume Cloister is a Berkeley treasure, steeped in history and architectural splendor. This Gothic Revival estate, designed in 1927 by John Hudson Thomas for Samuel & Portia Bell Hume, evokes a 13th-century French monastery. Samuel, a UC Berkeley professor & curator, and Portia, a pioneering psychiatrist, envisioned a sanctuary of creativity & reflection. Set on over 2/3 of an acre, the estate offers panoramic SF Bay views w/ the Golden Gate Bridge perfectly framed off the terrace. At its heart lies a serene cloister courtyard lined w/ arched colonnades, featuring a stone wishing well. Extensively restored over the last 7yrs, it offers the comfort of modern amenities while preserving exquisite historic details. The living room w/ 25' ceilings features a large fireplace & mezzanine library w/ office overlooking the Bay. Kitchen includes Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator & custom millwork. The landscaped grounds include a koi pond, bocce court, greenhouse, garden beds, redwood grove, and a hot tub deck off primary suite. An attached guest house offers full accommodations, including a modern kitchen, laundry, BR & LR. More than a home, the Hume Cloister is a rare blend of history, design & soul, a timeless retreat ready for its next chapter.
