Property Description
In 1958, Douglas Buckner, a Berkeley architecture grad, dreamed of building a house of his own design. Thanks to the GI Bill, he purchased an expansive wooded lot in Montclair, to make his mid-century modern dreams come true focusing on functionality, clean lines, and good bones. The trees are incorporated in every view through windows on 3 sides of the house, bringing nature inside with a glorious view of the Bay, Bridges, Islands & the City through the western windows. After traveling abroad, he and his wife Ginger raised 2 children creating meaningful memories along the way. The house accommodated them all with its spacious 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The open kitchen/living/dining room, with its wood floors, open beam ceilings, and iconic cone fireplace is the space that saw 4 generations gather for holidays, birthdays, and family meals. Through the glass doors, the broad deck extends the living space for outdoor entertainment, star gazing, and dreaming. A plethora of storage and level parking to boot on this .4 acre lot perfect for exploring and tree houses! For the 1st time since its inception, the Buckner house is being offered for sale; a chance to create your own traditions, make your own heartfelt memories, and become the next chapter in the story of this remarkable home.
