About this home
Inspired by the VanDamm house in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, this architectural masterpiece offers jaw-dropping views and unparalleled seclusion and privacy within minutes of downtown Orinda and Berkeley and just steps to hiking trails. Designed and built by the owner for the owner this unique structure offers powerful angles, rugged materials, and a back to the earth vibe amidst a backdrop of nature in the masterful style of Frank Lloyd Wright. Massive beams meet at improbable angles, the living room and primary bedroom fully cantilever as if floating in space with floor to ceiling glass and views of Briones Reservoir, Mt Diablo, and EBMUD watershed. Hawks circle, turkeys gobble, and quail squabble in this magical retreat perched on its aerie at the top of the world. Featuring balconies off almost every room, 4 full bathrooms, large family room, quiet and gentle hydronic heating, separate built-in Subzero freezer and refrigerator, 60” gas range with 6 burners and 24” griddle, large garage and workshop space, almost all new lighting, new outlets/switches, gleaming oak floors, 22 new windows, 80 gallon Bradford White Heatpump water heater, and a new boiler.
