Features & Upgrades
∎
Truly a visionary building for its time! Built in 1979, this unique Rockridge property was designed by architects Lee Porter Butler & William Pearson as the first "multi-family housing project utilizing the thermal envelope concept”. A mix of original 70's era bohemian design elements, including exposed I-beams, thick plank wood siding, massive wood decks and balconies, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows with sliding glass doors and skylights, combined with contemporary elements, unique to each unit. A stunning three-story tall greenhouse atrium serves as a central courtyard for this six-unit residential retreat.
Profiled by SF Gate in 2021, this community invites you in with its lush tropical indoor garden and alluring atrium, as you make your way to your own secluded deck and residence. Unit C is a tranquil eco-modernist 2-story end unit. The handsomely tiled fountain and original entry deck lead to a bright two-story interior with impressive upgrades throughout. Pristine hardwood floors and contemporary finishes on each level complement the two bedroom, one and a half bath floorplan. A remodeled kitchen with stone countertops and stainless appliances adjoins the living and dining rooms. Two spacious bedrooms on the upper level offer walk-in closets and verdant outlooks to the interior atrium. The unit includes an in-unit laundry room and a dedicated garage space for parking and storage. Lovely outdoor space and gardens to the rear of the property. A convenient stroll to BART, Market Hall, popular restaurants, shops and all things Rockridge!
