Property Description

Welcome to 1091 Creston Road, an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Bay Area architectural history. Perched in the Berkeley Hills with sweeping views of San Francisco, the Bay, and the Golden Gate, this mid-century modern masterpiece was designed by acclaimed architect Roger Lee-an East Bay modernist known for his elegant simplicity and deep connection to nature. Even more special, the home was custom-built for beloved children's author Beverly Cleary. A quintessential example of Lee's philosophy, the home features clean lines, floor-to-ceiling glass, warm wood tones, and thoughtful built-ins that blur the line between indoors and out. While the architectural integrity remains intact, the kitchen has been tastefully modernized to meet today's standards. Reimagined with sleek built-in Fisher & Paykel appliances and an induction cooktop, it blends seamlessly into the home's aesthetic while offering modern functionality. Set on over one-third of an acre, the property provides privacy, serenity, and the potential for an ADU. This is more than a home, it's a livable work of art and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true Berkeley treasure.
