1735 La Vereda Rd, Berkeley, CA 94709

The result of a 20+ year collaboration between the owner and master builder/designer Dough Allinger, 1735 La Vereda is a showcase of talent and architectural whimsy. Incorporating many signature elements from the Carr/Allinger architectural vocabulary, the home includes an undulating “drunken brick” wine cellar and garden walls, a wood fired sauna, repurposed salvage materials, custom arched-top wood doors with hand-forged hinges throughout, and a classic Carr Jones-styled crux-form dormer with gable window, a massive deck, and spectacular views of the Golden Gate bridge. If you're starting to tire of the "Apple Store" aesthetic, come see this truly unique home for a refreshing view of pre-pinterest informed craftsmanship and values. There is truly nothing else like this.
