Property Description

Designed in 1968 by Berkeley architect John Rolf Hattam, this mid-century modern gem sits on one of the East Bay's most celebrated ridgeline addresses. Hattam pushed the western facade toward the Bay, creating sightlines that open north, south, and west: a panorama stretching from Marin across San Francisco to the Peninsula, Golden Gate Bridge front and center. The main level offers three bedrooms, two baths, an open living and dining room with soaring ceilings, eight-foot doors, and original wood-paneled walls. Updated kitchen with polished concrete counters and custom Heath tile. Private Japanese garden courtyard and cantilevered deck. The lower level adds a family room, guest bedroom, full bath, and storage pre-plumbed for a future kitchen, with its own garden deck. Renovation designed by Rick Irving, lead designer on the Getty Center interiors. For over a decade, celebrated Bay Area painter Wanda Westberg lived and worked here, her paintings featured throughout every room. The converted garage studio with skylights and professional art lighting awaits its next creative chapter. Only the second time on market since 1968. Pedigree, views, and inspiration — built in.
