Perched in the Berkeley Hills, this architecturally stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat spans 2,544 square feet of pure design on a 9,000+ square foot view lot, blending modern elegance with Arts & Crafts tradition. Step through the redwood gated entry and follow the winding stone steps to the solid main door-your gateway to something truly special. On the entry level, a serene primary suite (once envisioned as an artist's studio) welcomes you with shoji screen doors and abundant light. The spa-like bath features floor-to-ceiling Carrara marble and a glass-enclosed shower. This level also includes storage, laundry, and a gas boiler powering radiant floor heating. The dining area boasts a massive sliding window framing the lush, terraced garden of stone walls, trees, and butterflies. The sleek European kitchen leads to a gravel patio, perfect for alfresco dining. Upstairs, two bedrooms include a larger retreat with custom maple closets by Master Woodworker Hiroshi Sakaguchi, a triangular skylight, and double-glazed windows framing Golden Gate views. As evening falls, subtle garden lighting and a serene redwood deck inspired by Korean architecture create a fairytale escape. This is more than a home-it's an experience.
