About This Home
A Mid-Century Landmark with a Nobel Prize Pedigree. Perched above the UC Berkeley campus with spectacular views across the Bay, this remarkably preserved 1957 mid-century modern was the longtime residence of a renowned astrophysicist, recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics, who even made a guest appearance on The Big Bang Theory. The home has aged beautifully - its clean lines, walls of glass, indoor-outdoor flow, and dramatic setting arguably making it even more special today than when it was built. The upper level features a primary suite, family and dining rooms, kitchen, garden, and a huge view deck overlooking the UC Berkeley campus and SF Bay. The separately accessed lower level offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, kitchen, and its own view deck, ideal for guests, extended family, or work-from-home space. Lovingly preserved and now ready for some TLC, this is a rare opportunity for a new steward to restore, reimagine, and take an extraordinary property to the next level. Architecturally distinctive, historically significant, and set in an unforgettable location, 222 Panoramic Way is truly one of a kind. BESO Home Energy Score of 1.
