Decorated with Redwoods and set within a canopy of California Live Oaks, lies this exquisite Mid-Century Modern home where architectural influences of Bernard Maybeck are integrated throughout the spacious open floor plan designed by Berkeley architect, Karl Kolbeck. Dramatic high ceilings, walls of glass and the feeling that you're living in harmony with the outdoors are just some of the wonderful features of its 2371 square feet.
One is immediately drawn to the impressive formal living room where a high post and beam ceiling and grand oval brick fireplace have accompanied great conversation over the years. Just beyond the main entry is the dining room, half bath and a large eat-in kitchen which adjoins the family room and opens out to a beautiful deck that encircles the home.
Karl Kolbeck used nature as his inspiration not only in his materials, but in flexibility embracing a simplification of form. His open floor plan and patios function as outdoor rooms offering the perfect setting for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. His honest expression of structure coupled with Maybeck's Craftsman influence offers a unique lifestyle of modern design.
Private and serene, this extraordinary four bedroom two and one half bath residence is ideally located in one of the more coveted neighborhoods of Lafayette with 12 years of top rated schools and an easy commute to the heart of San Francisco.
