Property Description
Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Kensington Hills is this one-of-a-kind, Mid-Century award-winning modern style residence. The Sakamoto Residence received the American Institute of Architects Merit award in 1963 for outstanding quality and design by renowned architect, Hiroshi Watanabe. Still originally owned, this home was built in 1961 and expanded in 1990 with features that include rare imported wood, extensive use of glass and high quality construction. Exposed plank wood ceilings imported from Japan with substantial beams, and generous use of Redwood Philippine Mahogany walls, baseboards, skirt, casing, and accent trim along with natural Oak hardwood flooring throughout. A focus of the award-winning design are the floor to ceiling walls of glass that surround the living areas and atrium to blend the outdoor landscaping with bright interior spaces as captured in the 1963 SF Chronicle and Berkeley Gazette. All with convenient access to parks, trails, shops, and restaurants
