About This Home
As of April 2022Pristine, dramatic architect-designed home by Walter Thomas Brooks, known for his minimalist, organic design and emphasis on the beauty of nature and mathematics. Tucked onto an oversized peaceful lot, around the corner from the popular Solano Avenue area and just blocks to the North Berkeley area as well. The spacious open plan under Brooks' signature "petal roof" pyramid vaulted ceiling design gives stunning vistas in all directions: a wall of glass doors opens to large deck and rear yard, sliding front windows toward the partial bay view, the picture window toward the Berkeley hills or the skylight, it was designed to unite the inside with the world outside. And it does. There are two bedrooms on the first level, laundry and remodeled bathroom. The main living area features a long built-in work table, efficient updated kitchen, pantry, many storage closets, full bath, separate sitting area from living/dining area and set of 6 doors to the spacious live-on-me rear deck.
