Property Description

This 1963 Mid-Century Modern home was designed by Bob "Red" Kleyn-Schorel, a cousin of Bernard Maybeck's daughter-in-law. The design throughout pays homage to Maybeck's brilliance, featuring high ceilings, wood exteriors, Craftsman elements, and a perfect siting on a verdant hill, creating a beautiful intersection of nature. Upon arrival, you notice the beautiful wood detailing of the grand front door, expansive front porch, and the symmetrical roofline. The home captures Maybeck's belief that "hillside architecture is landscape gardening around a few rooms in case of rain." This home boasts green, beguiling vistas from nearly every room. You feel enveloped by nature, as it captures the very essence of Maybeck's intent: beauty. The bedrooms are large and inviting. Built-in bookshelves, a grand fireplace, and the enormous open space make the home feel truly extraordinary. Upgraded bathrooms retain a connection to the outdoors, evoking a spa-like ambiance. There is ample storage, and the garden runs all the way to the street below. The view of the campus, bay, and flickering lights creates a calm, peaceful ambiance. The quiet cul-de-sac has no through traffic. 5 Maybeck Twin Drive, a street named playfully after Maybeck's twin granddaughters, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
