Property Description
Designed in 1953 by architect Morgan Shaw, this mid-century modern home captures the essence of California design with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, original redwood walls, and floor-to-ceiling low-E glass framing iconic views of the Golden Gate, Bay Bridge, and Richmond-San Rafael. Later enhanced by architects Bill Glass and Bennett Christopherson, the home combines architectural pedigree with thoughtful modern upgrades. The kitchen and dining room, reimagined in 2016 by Mason St. Peter, feature custom millwork by Nobuto Suga of Small Works, while a vintage Cado Poul Cadovius wall unit provides both style and function. A serene lower-level primary suite includes a custom solid oak dressing room. Modern systems include a 200-amp electrical panel, dual Tesla Powerwalls, full solar, EV charger, LED lighting, and discreet hidden home cinema. Outdoor living shines with a level-in backyard featuring an Ipe deck, Galanter & Jones heated bench, plumbed Lumacast fire pit, Japanese Maple, fruit trees, and vegetable garden, all designed by Heather Reid. Recently repainted, with a two-car garage and proximity to Tilden Park, UC Berkeley, and North Berkeley shops, this rare home offers a perfect blend of history, design, and sustainability.
