About this home

This architect designed, single-level, Poet's Corner home blends modern elegance with tranquility. The residence exudes understated luxury with vaulted ceilings, an open-concept floorplan, and designer finishes. The beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen has custom white oak veneer cabinetry, striking quartzite countertops, premium appliances, and abundant skylights. Warm wood tones complement a curated palette of wall colors, creating a refined yet inviting ambiance. Designed for California’s quintessential indoor-outdoor living, the home opens effortlessly to a lush and blooming rear garden. The landscape architect–designed garden is a true urban sanctuary. Mature trees and vibrant flowering beds frame intimate spaces for relaxation & entertaining. Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, while thoughtfully placed seating areas invite quiet reflection or lively gatherings. This immersive retreat offers serenity, beauty, and function. Completing the property is a sleek, architect-designed 1-bedroom / 1-bath ADU w/polished concrete floors, radiant heating, custom cabinetry, and expansive doors that open directly to the verdant garden. Mins to shops, restaurants, UCB, Berkeley Schools & public transportation (inc. the Transbay bus to SF) & BART.

Thoughtful architecture and design. The main home is 2 bedrooms that share a bath with a massive beautiful laundry room. The ADU is quite nice with a loft sleeping space. Dreamy yard.
