NO OPEN HOUSES. VIEWABLE W/AGENTS. 2 Maybeck Twin Drive, known as Arillaga, is the last home Bernard Maybeck designed. Created in 1951 for his son and daughter-in-law, Wallen & Jacomena & built by Jacomena's cousin Robert "Red" Kleyn-Schorel, this 2-bd, 1-ba residence rests on an expansive 10,434 sq ft lot in a private enclave, rich with architectural history. The home blends mid-century simplicity-low-slung lines, open glass windows, plywood & a flexible floor plan-with classic Maybeck elements, including steel windows, a striking raised-hearth fireplace & arched beams. Many original details remain intact: navy hatch cover flooring in the living room, Hawaiian sweet gum plywood ceilings, radiant heat in the concrete floors & a warm concrete hearth designed for gathering. Mostly in original condition, Arillaga is ready for thoughtful updating and offers tremendous potential to enhance its character. The property's verdant setting includes Bay views that can be further opened with tree trimming & landscaping. A lower-level garage exists, though there is also the level-in driveway. Set on Maybeck Twin Drive, near North Berkeley shops, Arillaga offers architectural provenance, vintage charm & exciting possibilities in a nbrhd of landmark homes by renowned 20th-century architects.
