Property Description

Built in 2022 on Berkeley's coveted Maybeck Twin Drive, this incomparable 4+BD, 4BA, 3623 SQFT home with a full-service apartment is a modern interpretation of the neighborhood's storied architectural heritage. Designed by Goring & Straja Architects, engineered for the hillside by soils engineer Alan Kropp and seismic specialist AJ Miller, this is serious California modern design built in the spirit of Bernard Maybeck's own principles: let the topography dictate the house, honor light, and always keep the eye moving between inside and outside. The result feels like it grew from the hill itself. A covered wraparound terrace and patio atrium invite you to sit and take in the Bay with the occasional chime of UC Berkeley's Campanile wafting in from across the canyon. Inside, the open floor plan is anchored by a central fireplace and vaulted ceilings, with glass accordion doors folding completely open to a balcony with Bay views, constructed using Maybeck design principals. Entertain in the dining area, cook in the chef's kitchen with high-end appliances and marble countertops, or settle into the living room with the Bay as your backdrop. Hidden Bluetooth speakers, French doors to the backyard, and a generous family room with balcony access make the main level feel expansive and alive. A terraced Mediterranean butterfly garden offers space to gather and play. The main floor is complete with a full bath and a quiet office area. Three bedrooms are tucked away on another level for privacy. The primary suite offers a custom walk-in closet, spa-like split bath, and Bay views. Two additional bedrooms share a bath with soaking tub, shower, and dual vanity. An expansive laundry closet serves the floor. Downstairs, a full-service 1BD/1BA guest apartment with kitchen and its own laundry offers flexibility as an au pair or guest suite. A bonus room is currently configured as a speakeasy with expansive wine storage and a mini-kitchen. Interior access leads to a two-car, drive-through garage with EV hookups and storage room. Additional features include an expandable, owned SunStrong solar system, durable cedar siding, a 40 year roof with WUI-approved shingles for fire performance, and a design that accommodates an integrated elevator to each floor, interior fire sprinklers, & zoned HVAC. Sewer lateral, BESO compliant, and a perfect HES score of 10 out of 10! Berkeley Hills trails nearby. UC Berkeley and the Gourmet District just down the hill.
