Designed in 1977 by architect Kathie Milano as her personal residence, this contemporary treehouse sits on a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking Tilden Park, with canyon views, morning sun, and offers a seamless connection between architecture and nature.

Maple floors throughout, and new appliances and a heat-pump air conditioning add comfort and modern functionality. Situated near Tilden Park's many trails and attractions, including the golf course, carousel, Little Farm, and steam trains. BART, UC Berkeley, the Gourmet Ghetto, and Solano Avenue are also nearby.
