About This Home

As of July 2021

Step into 561 Santa Clara and feel the ease and comfort of this mid century home. Designed by the East Bay Modernist architect Paul Hammarberg in 1956, this inviting home has the classic features of the modernist aesthetic. A glass wall looks onto the sunny entry deck overlooking the neighborhood with Mt Tam in the distance. The living area with vaulted beamed ceilings flows to the level out patio and garden which extends the living space with outdoor rooms and seating areas. It’s a beautiful garden for a party or simply soaking in the peace and privacy. The generous kitchen with maple cabinets, breakfast bar, and beautiful tile is the heart and soul of the house, and creates a serene environment for mealtime and gatherings.The 3 main bedrooms, separate office and 2 tiled baths and public spaces are all on the same level, connected by the central hall. The dreamy principal bedroom opens to the garden through French doors. Downstairs is a media rm, laundry, 3rd bath & attached garage.
