If you do a second call to the geocode api you can get the info you need. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Berkeley,+CA&zoom=14&size=400x400
There appear to be 2 location sections. One contains the bounds of the request, the other contains the bounds of the viewport IE zoom level 14, at 400x400 i haven't really tested much other than to see what kind of results come back, but hopefully this will get you to where you want to go. I also saw the following.. https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/46729/corner-coordinates-of-google-static-map-tile which is very interesting. The problem being you would still need the center point as a starting position, then you can calculate the corners based on the zoom factor.
