Newly built in 2008, Award Winning Design by renowned Berkeley Architect, E. Paul Kelly A.I.A., exemplifies Craftsman details with mountain cabin feel, through rich use of recycled redwood, stone and wood inside and out. Soaring ceilings in the living room feature salvaged redwood timbers, while coffered ceilings adorn the dining room and kitchen. Salvaged premium redwood decking was split, re-milled, and used as ceiling panels. The gourmet kitchen has Brazilian granite with a 4’ X 8’ island, Viking range, twin dishwashers and walk-in pantry. The formal dining room is surrounded by Western red cedar paneling from British Columbia.
Dual French doors lead level out to lovely landscaped grounds and an intimate fenced patio with Mariposa slate flagstone and a private hot tub. Gorgeous, knotty hickory wood floors throughout and walls with a finish designed to look like old style lath and plaster. The upper level is bright and features tranquil leafy outlooks. A loft-style corridor overlooks the huge stone gas fireplace and ceiling detailing in the living room, with space for an office. Bathrooms feature custom glass showers and handmade subway tile. Cedar-shingled siding, copper gutters, and 100-year slate roof show fine workmanship.
In the rear is a 100+ year old cottage completely rebuilt from the studs in 2008, an adorable one bedroom with corner gas fireplace, wood floors, kitchen with granite and skylight, and indoor private laundry.
With two homes on one 7,300 sq. ft. lot (per City permits) on a cul-de-sac, this property is one of a kind and rich with local history, located in the heart of the Live Oak and Gourmet Ghetto neighborhoods.
