It has been all custom built and tastefully designed focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly practices - salvaging all the wood from the original house attic; • all the California Gold Natural stone was salvaged from a local shop that wanted to get rid of it; • installing radiant hydronic heat - a sustainable and very efficient way to heat the space; • natural stone and bamboo floors; • 2 large skylights to maximize on natural light; • German engineered Resysta front siding - green and extremely durable material, resistant to sun, rain, frost and even salt water. It consists of 60% rice husks, 22% common salt and 18% mineral oil and maintains the visual appearance of wood. It features open floor plan and a modern airy feel with preserving, yet enhancing all the original elements, bridging past and present. The design straddles the line between modern and traditional - with its open floor plan and clean lines along with natural stone, white Venetian plaster throughout & custom built , hand - crafted reclaimed wood elements. It’s designed as a modern tree house and flooded with natural light - get lost in the greenery and the serenity of the palm trees, flowering bougainvillea, lemon trees and being surrounded by hummingbirds bathing in the koi fish pond. The lush gardens and the water Lilly koi fish pond in the backyard, create a tranquil sanctuary with a feeling of an urban oasis. Sip your coffee and catch the sunset on one of our two roof - top terraces — the front one is overlooking the street, the back one - overlooking the garden & koi fish pond and Berkeley hills. The house' beautiful Craftsman facade stands out on our tree-lined street. It has a welcoming feel with all the natural materials used and clean architectural lines. The California Gold natural stone staircase leads you to a covered porch with reclaimed redwood pillars and railings, salvaged from the original house built in 1910.
