When it comes to Berkeley’s architectural heritage, mid-century modern homes represent an era when design was centered around openness, simplicity and harmony with the natural environment.

Nestled behind a rocky outcropping, the 1951 home has unobstructed bay views, a spacious backyard, and a suite of energy-efficient systems.

The two-bedroom build at 2370 Hilgard Avenue was designed by the architect J.W. Oliver, according to the listing, and still sports much of the original detailing so characteristic of Craftsman homes from this era.
