861 Regal Rd.
Berkeley
Never before on the market, this Donald Olsen modernist home is reminiscent of the Bauhaus and LeCorbusier styles, as well as the avant-garde of the 1930s. A spacious and dramatic 3++ bedroom home, it was directly commissioned by the late owner, a prominent art-collector and curator from the Museum of Modern Art in New York and a friend of Olsen’s. At the time, 861 Regal was simultaneously a family retreat, a drafting and writing office, as well as a gracious space for creativity, intellectual discourse and entertaining the prominent local luminaries as well as visiting scholars.
It has a vaulted 2-story living room with large loft area that served as an office, an open and airy floor plan and walls of glass and exhibition space. As Olsen was deeply responsive to orientation and climate, he perfectly integrated nature into his design and 861 Regal is beautifully set back from the street for maximum privacy and anchored into the gentle hillside surrounded by live Oaks, scattered rock outcroppings and a deep garden. The fabulous views and the multiple decks create a stunning setting for gathering and relaxing.
Well-built and impeccably maintained, this home is not only a stunning architectural icon, but also a perfect blend of comfort and elegance while conveniently located in the lower Berkeley Hills close to schools, shopping and the great commute. A rare gem!
