About This Home

As of June 2025

This exquisite mid-century residence was designed by the notable modernist Paul Hammarberg, one of the Bay Area's most successful Mid-century Modern architects and is surrounded by an amazing gated 1.22 acre landscaped estate property with patios and flat lawn areas for play and entertaining. Remodeled to perfection by the current owners. The original elements of the design, open floor plan, paneled walls, and exposed beams remain and are complemented by a careful extensive remodel. This home lives the indoor/outdoor life style with walls of dual pane windows and skylights that stream natural light and frame garden views throughout the home. The focus is on energy efficiency with an extensive owned solar system, radiant heat and mini splits for additional heat and cooling with a backup Kohler home generator. The kitchen was recently remodeled and expanded for the serious chef and includes an Induction Cook top and Steam Convection Oven. The fabulous yard has two potential pool sites surrounded by lush lawns and landscaping. There is a green house for the outdoor enthusiast. Private yet close to downtown!
