Built entirely out of old growth redwood and pine juxtaposed with an industrial aesthetic of stainless steel showers, sinks, and countertops, it's truly one of a kind. Just steps to Tilden Park and the Lawrence Hall of Science and minutes to UC Berkeley and your favorite shops and dining, this home enjoys the convenience to urban amenities yet feels like a vacation retreat. Pass the gated drought tolerant garden, down a flagstone path and open the front door to reach the stunning central gallery that runs nearly the entire length of the home and serves as the nerve center of living and entertaining. The sheer scale of the space, seamless indoor/outdoor flow and breathtaking vistas from a wall of windows can offer a variety of configurations for dining, entertaining, living and play. The open kitchen is bathed in natural light from the skylights above.
