Bold. Breathtaking. Brilliantly conceived. This architectural showpiece is one of Berkeley’s most exquisite modern masterpieces—a rare fusion of precision, luxury, and effortless California elegance. Reconstructed ground up in 2016 and spanning three dramatic levels, every inch has been masterfully curated. Located in one of North Berkeley’s most desirable pockets yet completely hidden from the outside world. Custom Fleetwood pocket doors vanish into the walls, blurring the line between architecture and nature. The main level flows seamlessly—kitchen, dining, and living unified into one elevated space Framed by walls of glass, the vistas stretch endlessly—from cityscape to the bay and the hills beyond, enjoy a cinematic backdrop in every direction. Upstairs, the primary suite and two bedrooms offer tranquility and taste, with bespoke closets, spa-inspired baths, and a lounge-ready terrace made for golden hours and moonlit moments. The lower level is where luxury deepens: a fourth bedroom, home gym, designer bar, full bath, and access to a lush, level yard with expansive deck—perfect for private relaxation or the most glamorous afterparty beneath the stars. Crafted for those who see home as the ultimate expression of self—an architectural sculpture to be lived in and loved.

Single Family Residential District - Hillside Overlay Zone
The purpose of the Single-Family Residential (R-1) district is to: Recognize and protect the existing pattern of development in the low-density, single-family residential areas of the city consistent with the General Plan; Make housing available for persons who desire detached housing and a relatively large amount of usable open space; Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air; and Permit community facilities such as religious assembly uses, schools, parks, and libraries which serve the local population and are not detrimental to the immediate neighborhood.; The purpose of the Hillside (H) overlay zone is to: implement General Plan policies for hillside development; protect the safety and health of residents where steep topography, unusual street conditions and proximity to the wildland-urban interface create severe risk from wildfire; protect the character of Berkeley's hillside areas and their immediate environs; give reasonable protection to views yet allow appropriate development of all property; and allow modifications in standard setback and height requirements when justified because of steep topography, irregular lot pattern, unusual street conditions, or other special aspects of the hillside areas.
