22 Roble Road, Berkeley
We are pleased to present the grand, historic McDuffie House, situated in our Claremont District. Duncan McDuffie was a visionary, suburban planner and developer with a true appreciation of nature. He founded Mason McDuffie Company, which created the Claremont and Northbrae neighborhoods in Berkeley, and St. Francis Woods in San Francisco. McDuffie went on to create the California Park system and was one of the founders of the Sierra Club, of which he was president for many years. Architecture and Landscape McDuffie’s vision of a country home for him and his wife led to a long correspondence with Willis Polk and the Olmsted Brothers firm, who designed New York’s Central Park. McDuffie envisioned a Mediterranean villa flowing from the edge of the road down into a glorious garden. This romantic home was designed to suit their country lifestyle, which included entertaining socialites and dignitaries. The grand staircase to the foyer below was an important part of the social proceedings. The upper level was for guests, the main level for the McDuffies, and the lower level for staff. The garden was and is an essential and beautifully integrated element of the overall design. The current owners embarked on an extensive upgrade program of the entire house to suit their specific lifestyle - heating system, plumbing, electrical, windows and doors, kitchen and baths - but it is incomplete. A new owner with vision has the opportunity to finish this project and enjoy one of the grandest homes of the past enhanced with the fine appointments of modern, 21st Century living.

The trustee handling the sale invited David Trachtenberg of Trachtenberg Architects in Berkeley to re-imagine the house and design a new floor plan to bring this once extraordinary house into the 21st Century.
