NO OPEN HOUSES. VIEWABLE W/AGENTS. 2 Maybeck Twin Drive, known as Arillaga, is the last home Bernard Maybeck designed. Created in 1951 for his son and daughter-in-law, Wallen & Jacomena & built by Jacomena’s cousin Robert “Red” Kleyn-Schorel, this 2-bd, 1-ba residence rests on an expansive 10,434 sq ft lot in a private enclave, rich with architectural history. The home blends mid-century simplicity—low-slung lines, open glass windows, plywood & a flexible floor plan—with classic Maybeck elements, including steel windows, a striking raised-hearth fireplace & arched beams. Many original details remain intact: navy hatch cover flooring in the living room, Hawaiian sweet gum plywood ceilings, radiant heat in the concrete floors & a warm concrete hearth designed for gathering. Mostly in original condition, Arillaga is ready for thoughtful updating and offers tremendous potential to enhance its character. The property’s verdant setting includes Bay views that can be further opened with tree trimming & landscaping. A lower-level garage exists, though there is also the level-in driveway. Set on Maybeck Twin Drive, near North Berkeley shops, Arillaga offers architectural provenance, vintage charm & exciting possibilities in a nbrhd of landmark homes by renowned 20th-century architects.

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.
