About this Property

Amid views of the Golden Gate Bridge, giant Redwoods, and renowned architecture (Temple of the Wings, Hume Castle), this extraordinary residence blends modern construction with Arts and Crafts elegance. Designed by Robert Mueller in 2014, it honors Berkeley’s architectural legacy—especially Bernard Maybeck—while standing as a contemporary landmark of craftsmanship and refined living. The jewel-box exterior and trumpet flower balustrades echo the neighborhood’s pedigree. Mueller masterfully fuses Craftsman ideals with contemporary Classicism. A classic portico entry leads to a dynamic orchestration of space: a barrel-vaulted foyer, a pyramid-capped dining room, and soaring beamed ceilings in the sunken living room. Ceilings shift in height and form, defining each room’s unique identity. The expansive kitchen, with custom cabinetry and stone counters, balances history and modernity. Ginkgo-leaf fixtures and William Morris-inspired wallpaper subtly nod to Maybeck. The lower hall’s gallery introduces four bedrooms, including a distinguished primary suite. Thoughtful details—reading nooks, custom millwork—enhance every space. Impeccably maintained, the home features lush landscaping, an indulgent spa deck, a gym, an earthquake-ready wine cellar, and solar panels.
