1082 Cragmont Ave, Berkeley, CA 94708

Tucked in a redwood grove & overlooking its expansive gardens, this midcentury-style treehouse from renowned architect Paul Wang is what dreams are made of. The redwood facade, which evokes the steeples of a cathedral, welcomes you first over a wooden bridge & then into a private courtyard. Upon entry, soaring vaulted ceilings and an open concept living space lead to a deck built directly around a powerful redwood tree. The original kitchen is a vintage tile jewel, and invites gathering and hosting. On this floor is a flex room, totally functional as a bedroom though historically used as an office, with easy access to a sizable, earthy-tone, tiled bathroom. Downstairs are three bedrooms, all with wooded, forest views. The gem of the primary bedroom is the expansive glass windows, that meet like the prow of a ship. Two bedrooms share a delightful blue-and-exposed wood bathroom, while the primary bedroom has a creamy-tiled en-suite with deep tub and original stained glass window. Access to the backyard is on this floor, and it is truly stunning; a secret garden, replete with windy paths, verdant corners, shady hamlets and fairy hideaways. Cragmont is so centrally located in the North Berkeley hills, and yet, it is an oasis – your own secret wooded world.
