2357 Le Conte Ave, Berkeley, CA 94709

Bernard Maybeck’s design at 2357 Le Conte Avenue in North Berkeley is another wonderful example of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts influence on his work. This stunning residence is ideally located in the historic Holy Hill neighborhood of North Berkeley and just minutes to downtown Berkeley, the famed Gourmet Ghetto, and the world-renowned UC Berkeley campus. Accessed from the main entry hallway, with its wonderful flow to the gracious spaces throughout the home, you’ll find a dramatic and large living room with a vaulted ceiling made of clear heart redwood and a large hearth fireplace. There are many special details throughout the unique home with handcrafted beam brackets, clay tiled roof, and a stained-glass newel post at the grand living room’s entry. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on two levels. The kitchen leads to an ample deck ideal for morning tea and evening cocktails and overlooks a large front garden, as the house is set back from the street on the 9,840 sq. ft. parce
