100 Avenida Dr

A canopy of soaring redwoods transforms the approach into something cinematic, an arrival that sets the tone for this remarkable Berkeley Hills Mid-Century. Private, serene, and dramatic, the home pairs striking architecture with a deep connection to its natural surroundings, punctuated by peek-a-boo views through the trees. Crafted in concrete and recently renovated, this house remains true to the vision that made Mid-Century design enduring in the first place. The kitchen and baths have been thoughtfully updated, adding a fresh layer of refinement without disturbing the architectural integrity that defines the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull light deep into the interiors, while a stone fireplace anchors the living room. Slate floors bring texture and authenticity to the dining room, where doors open to the outdoors. Skylights in both the kitchen and bathroom add another layer of natural light, shifting with the day and the seasons. The main residence includes two bedrooms, two full baths, a flexible den, an additional room off the kitchen ideal as an office, studio, or workout space and interior access to the attached two-car garage. Built-in shelving in both bedrooms speaks to the home's original design intelligence, while the primary suite features built-in cabinetry and a wood-lined walk-in closet that feels lifted from another era, in the best possible way. A studio with a private entrance and full bath offers welcome separation for guests, creative pursuits, or work-from-home life. Perhaps most surprising of all is the level front yard, a rare and highly coveted feature in the Berkeley Hills. Hidden beyond a redwood-lined driveway and set well back from the street, this home feels remarkably private, immersed in nature and removed from the rush of daily life. This is a home with character, space, and a sense of escape. Home Energy score of 5.
