About This Home

Great new price! 811 Folger Avenue offers an elegant interpretation of a hybrid “Live-Work” design by architect David Stark Wilson. This is an all-electric property, BESO exempt! The property has two residential floors and one office/workspace floor. Both the residential and workspace/office floors have independent heating and AC systems, all powered by a rooftop solar array. The residential floors feature 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a private front deck, and an open-plan study. The top floor has a spectacular “great room”, a dynamic kitchen/dining area/living room combination featuring a huge island, a suite of SS energy-efficient appliances, and beautiful custom windows with urban views. The office/workspace floor has a level-in independent entry, an ADA bathroom, and the counter space is plumbed for a microwave and refrigerator. The tall French doors capture the southern light, illuminating this space with bright natural light. This office space may be rented separately. The heart of the property is an unexpected stainless-steel staircase, an unexpected companion to the polished concrete floors and board-formed concrete walls. The property has two designated parking spaces (one space has an electric car charger) and is near Berkeley Bowl, shops, cafes, and mass transit.
