A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Berkeley History. Perched on a private knoll, this 2-story hand hewn redwood cottage offers spectacular Bay views, the serenity of a mountain Hideaway, and a colorful past. Exquisite custom detailing perfectly incorporates the provenance and soul of this special home while meeting today’s modern lifestyle. Romantic primary bedroom with fireplace, remodeled bath, a deck to enjoy sunsets and a perfect bay view. Built in the early 1920’s for himself and his wives, Scottish Engineer and Jungian psychologist Andrew Shirra Gibb created a compound which once included the two wood homes below. The house has inspired a diverse cast of characters from the dashing violinists of the world-renowned Griller String Quartet and crew of 1993 film The Joy Luck Club who filmed a scene in the living room.
