About This Home

As of April 2020

Designed by famed Mid Century Master Daniel Lieberman in conjunction with fellow Wright student and biographer Donald Hoppen, 150 Bret Harte Road embodies many of the signature elements of Lieberman’s work, including the stunning and distinctive radial design, the use of recycled and sustainable local materials, hand hammered copper and cast epoxy sculptural elements, custom stone and brickwork, and a meticulously thoughtful orientation to the topography and environment of the site itself. Originally built for Tomak Ulatowski and family, this extraordinary structure has been lovingly maintained and carefully updated and preserved while acknowledging the significance of the original design. 150 Bret Harte Road features unparalleled privacy, stunning natural light, huge panoramic views of the bay and Golden Gate, and a truly one of a kind, hand crafted character which cannot be duplicated. Sale includes the undeveloped parcel at 1133 Cragmont ave, plus original blueprints to the home.
