At the crest of the hill, near Tilden Park, you'll find 1033 Overlook Road. A MidCentury Modern Retreat that welcomes you to step off the grid into your own private nature reserve.
You enter this large, open MidCentury home through a wisteria-covered courtyard. You're surrounded by California natives and a wooded backdrop, and even a coveted flat yard area, that at once creates this private serene feeling for the entire home. In keeping, Sam the Bluebird stops by to say hello.
As is fitting with MidCentury design, this light open indoor/outdoor feeling is carried throughout the home itself.
The large open cook's kitchen with actual commercial stove, the dining area with architec-designed octagon table. The open living room that looks out on the verdant surroundings. A master retreat and two other bedrooms look out onto wooded backdrops or the courtyard...as does every other room in the house. In fact, you can't help but feel right at home in this open, natural surrounding.
That feeling extends to the lower level, which welcomes you with a large open family room and fireplace. A fourth bedroom and bath with steam shower is its own special garden room and guest retreat. A bonus art room is perfect for creating whatever you consider art. And is only fitting in a home that proclaims itself to be a world apart, there is a room like no other in the Hills. The train room built into the hill, complete with the operating Reid Railway.
Yes, the Reid Railway, the MidCentury Modern home, a nature reserve and Sam the Bluebird. It makes perfect sense. After all, this is Berkeley...and just a little left of ordinary.
