Experience a Mid-Century Modern Architectural Gem!

Step into a home featured in NorCalMod, a book on Mid-Century Modern architecture by Pierluigi Serraino. This stunning property is the first house showcased in the book, designed by Beverly David Thorne, the last living architect who participated in the renowned Case Study Houses project (1945-1966). Thorne is best known for his steel-frame designs on steep hillsides, including the famous “Brubeck House” featured on the Ed Sullivan Show.

This steel-frame home hovers over a peaceful creek, supported by two steel I-beams, with walls of glass that invite breathtaking views of the surrounding trees and gardens. From the deck, you’ll enjoy inspiring vistas of the Bay, San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mount Tamalpais. When it rains, the creek flows magnificently beneath the house, offering a truly unique, floating-like living experience.

Accommodations: This 2,014 sq. ft. single-family home features 4+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an expansive 1,200 sq. ft. deck. The master bedroom includes a king-size European Sleepworks mattress, while other rooms can be furnished upon request. The open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen provide a perfect space for relaxation or entertaining, furnished with a Z Gallerie leather sectional, velvet lounge chairs, and a dining table that seats 8. A spiral staircase leads to a lower-level room, ideal as a den or office, with serene forest views.

Neighborhood: Located near the Berkeley Hills, this home offers convenience to UC Berkeley, Tilden Park, San Francisco, and El Cerrito Plaza BART station. Restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are all minutes away.

Parking: The property accommodates 4 cars in the carport driveway, with ample street parking available.

Note: The creek flows heavily during the rainy season and lightly during dry periods, adding to the tranquil, natural setting of the property.
