Remarks

Tucked at the end of coveted Lake Drive, this Mid-Century retreat offers timeless design, a park-like setting, and a unique opportunity to reimagine a classic. Remodeled and expanded in 1964 by owner and noted Bay Area architect Hal Theiderman, this home showcases signature Mid-Century style with floor-to-ceiling windows, rich wood paneling, and seamless indoor/outdoor flow to gardens that surround the property. Just beyond your door, nearby trailheads lead directly into Wildcat Canyon and Tilden Park. Inside, vintage characters shine, from the gold entry door and sliding wall panels, to the jewel box kitchen and iconic clay lantern light fixture in the living room. Upstairs bedroom opens directly to the roof deck with sprawling and private canyon views. The lower level offers additional bedrooms, baths, and flexible living spaces. Offered as a fixer, this is a rare chance to secure a hard-to-find architectural home before it officially comes to market. Sellers have completed a full set of renovation plans and are willing to share them with qualified buyers. Their relocation creates your opportunity to unlock the full potential of this Kensington gem.
