5 Maybeck Twin Dr, Berkeley

Nestled in the prestigious Berkeley Hills on a private drive, this Bernard Maybeck-inspired residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Perched on a serene hillside with breathtaking Bay views, this home seamlessly blends craftsman elegance with modern luxury.

The light-filled interior showcases vaulted ceilings, original woodwork, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic vistas (views from every room). The updated kitchen flows beautifully to a spacious deck perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Three well-appointed bedrooms, including a sumptuous primary suite with gorgeous bathroom, provide a comfortable retreat. A separate home office offers the perfect work-from-home space, and the sellers combined the laundry room with a home gym space! Offering an extensive seismic retrofit (2021) and Tesla EV charger.

Located on fabled “Nut Hill”, 5 Maybeck Twin is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Berkeley history. This home was designed by Bob “Red” Kleyn-Schorel (cousin of local legend Jacomena Maybeck) who built many homes on MTD and Buena Vista. #5 was subsequently owned by Marion Ross (the beloved “Daffodil Lady”).

Minutes to Tilden Park, Corodonices and the Rose Garden, this home is just up the way from the Gourmet Village and UC Berkeley campus. Zoned for award-winning Berkeley Public Schools.
