About This Home
As of June 2022A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next owner of this historical and iconic home! Designed by the Fox Brothers, the “Troll House”, as some people called it, was a regular stopover for the transcontinental psychedelic elite! The owner was herself an artist and playwright...also on the inhabiters list was Owsley "Bear" Stanley, the Sound Engineer for The Grateful Dead. Soak in the vibes and the incredible architecture as this home is a real trip. The captivating storybook style with clinker brick facade, large stained glass windows, farmhouse cottage doors, and vaulted roofline will charm you. The interior is brimming with enchanting features; Dutch-style wood banisters, cathedral wood-beamed ceiling, and a walk-in fireplace! It's a transformational experience to behold! With modern upgrades to the kitchen and bathroom, it’s ready to rock and roll! Perhaps you might be the lucky one to write the next chapter of this incredible Berkeley home.
