Previously owned and rebuilt by local legend, Kip Mesirow, coppersmith/redwood artisan and builder of the world-renowned restaurant, Master Chef Alice Waters’ “Chez Panisse.” Mesirow’s signature, one-of-a-kind copper lighting, prominently featured in Chez Panisse, was hand-crafted here in what was once his workshop-now a spacious family/entertainment room with its own custom, copper-framed fireplace, opening out into a romantic rear patio and garden. This extraordinary home is reminiscent of Bernard Maybeck's style but very much with its own Chez Panisse sensibility. The rich, warm redwood interiors & exteriors, fine detailing, walls of redwood windows/French doors, and unique copper lighting give this home an elevated ambiance and notoriety in our local folklore of architectural gems.
