About This Home

As of May 2020

Completely innovative in every sense, this architecturally unique, environmentally green condo was built in 2003 by award-winning Berkeley architects Leger Wanaselja. Originally an early 20th-century grocery store that had fallen into disrepair, the site now houses 2 buildings constructed with salvaged & environmentally sustainable, energy-efficient materials all in a dramatic, contemporary design. This striking, light-filled condo is one of only 9 on-site & offers an open great room (LR/DR/kitchen), 2BR, 2BA, a private outdoor deck & a deeded parking spot. Architectural details used in a contemporary design include recycled & repurposed materials such as recycled glass kitchen counters, concrete floors & salvaged wood reused for doors, siding & trim. This incredible central Berkeley location is walking/biking distance to Shattuck Ave. shops/restaurants, downtown Berkeley, the Cal campus & Berkeley HS.
