A dream come true for mountain climbers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those wanting to live in a home surrounded by nature. 335 Vermont Ave is a blend of traditional Mediterranean architectural elements and those of a rustic, mountain cabin. This 3+ bedroom, 2 bath Mediterranean bungalow, home of famed mountain climber, author, and founder of the first outdoor travel adventure company in the United States, Allen Steck, evokes the feeling of a ski cabin. Glorious Japanese Maples and conifers grace the front and backyard, and a stone patio, built by the owner, provides the perfect place for outdoor gatherings. From the moment you enter the house, you instantly feel you have travelled to the mountains or a place removed from the urban hustle and bustle, or better yet, that you are on vacation in a verdant, tranquil setting. The living room with its vaulted beamed ceiling, steel casement windows, random plank hardwood floor, and rugged fireplace welcomes you. Morning sun streams through the spacious eat-in kitchen, with rustic, wood cabinetry, wood paneled walls with niches and inset storage, a Wolf range, and a mosaic backsplash. This is the kind of kitchen one enjoys lingering in. The primary bedroom, with en suite bath, was added in the 60s. Its knotty-pine walls and vaulted ceiling continue the cabin ambiance. The home's layout is thoughtful and practical, with a level-in entry, the living room and open kitchen/dining on the main level, three bedrooms and two baths, including the primary bedroom, separated from the public space, by a few steps and a hallway, and a spacious lower level plus room with direct backyard access. This special home, owned and loved by the same family for 70 years, is now ready for its next stewards and a new chapter. Amenities include: fresh interior paint throughout, newly refinished random plank hardwood floors, extensive drainage work, new wiring (4/2026), a new roof ( 2025) and a cul-de-sac location, 0.6 miles to the shops on Arlington Ave, in Kensington, and 1.1 miles to the Solano Ave shopping district in Berkeley.
