Hills
BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Nest House, designed by accomplished
female architect-duo Artifact Collaborative, has hit the market for
$5 million in the Berkeley Hills. The
all-electric home is the latest architectural gem from the duo who
have been nominated for awards by AIA East Bay in 2021 for
their projects Plus House and Wave House. The new construction
home, located at 1158 Cragmont Avenue, is a flexible,
family-friendly abode that has been meticulously designed and built
down to its last gorgeous detail. The home is listed with
Scott Leverette of Golden Gate
Sotheby's International Realty.
Nest House, named for its floating wing connected to the house
by a glass bridge, is both beautiful in form and robust in
construction detailing. Conceived with sustainability in mind, the
all-electric home started with a passive solar thermal design and
siting to emphasize the connection to the land. Featuring five
bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, this 3,583 square foot home
includes a green roof, heat pump for heating and cooling, solar PV
system, 240V EV car charger location, pre-plumbed for a whole home
back-up battery, and a vehicle to home battery system. Constructed
with the most meticulous design tolerances, Nest House has also
been built to last from the ground up. Incorporating the latest
seismic design, robust piers, and slab-on-grade foundation, steel
moment frames, and fire-hardened construction with a fire sprinkler
system.
"Nest House is new school luxury implementing modernist design
principles with a beautiful nod to the local midcentury designers
that changed home styles globally," says Leverette. The rare home
offers one-of-a-kind modern and sustainable living unlike new
construction seen in the area, as well as offering a convenient and
inspiring location, situated just above Codornices Park and close
to the Gourmet Gulch in North
Berkeley. The spectacular views of San Francisco and the Bay are enjoyed while
still being nestled amongst the redwood trees on a quiet street¾
plus a large flat lower yard, a rarity in the Berkeley Hills.
