Seamlessly blending trailblazing architecture with gracious serenity, this private sanctuary offers an experience of nature from every room. The double-story great hall features a wall of glass overlooking sun-drenched magnolias, a majestic stairway leading down to the hearth, and a cathedral ceiling crowned by a gigantic central skylight. Natural light abounds. View a landscaped creek and charming waterfall through the floor. This grand central room is an open, airy, continuous space that offers the opportunity to design your dining/living/entertaining experience in a multitude of ways. An upper-level dining room leads to a spacious, bright kitchen and an ample deck. Wake each morning to the changing sounds of the creek and an explosion of green in one of two bedrooms on upper level, each with dedicated full bath, and a sauna for relaxation. Newly-appointed guest apartment, also with superb view, has a separate entrance. Iconic minimalist architect Beverly Thorne's "Music House'' boasts an innovative wood, glass, and steel triangle design. This home, dubbed the Music House,'' is featured in Dwell, SFGate, Modernist Masters, among others. Kensington, in the Berkeley Hills, is moments away from shops, restaurants, regional parks and extensive trails.
