Stunning Modern Masterpiece Set Among Lush Gardens—A True Urban Oasis 

Designed by the award-winning local architecture firm Siegel & Strain, this exceptional 2008 custom build showcases thoughtful, innovative design and high-quality, eco-friendly finishes throughout.

From the moment you enter, the striking architecture makes a lasting impression. A welcoming foyer opens to soaring ceilings anchored by a dramatic, custom-clad reclaimed fir central core. Light pours in through a sculptural open staircase, rising to vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows above, filling the home with warm natural light.

The open main level is enveloped by verdant garden views and designed for effortless entertaining. The kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly to the sunny rear garden, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor connection.

Upstairs, two spacious bedroom suites are thoughtfully separated by a bridge, each with its own en-suite bathroom. French doors open wide to charming private decks, further blurring the line between indoors and out. The serene primary suite features vaulted ceilings, tranquil garden views, a private deck, a full wall of closet storage, and a spacious bathroom.

The rear garden offers a generous space for outdoor entertaining, with convenient access to off-street parking from the rear alley. Energy-efficient features include radiant floor heating and dual-paned wood/clad windows.

With a Walk Score® of 89 and Bike Score™ of 84, this prime location is just blocks from the Emeryville Greenway, Berkeley Bowl West, and local favorites such as Mujiri and Paradise Park Café. Convenient to Bay Street shops, Emeryville dining, I-80, and shuttle access to BART and Amtrak.
