Designed & constructed by well-known Northern Califonia Architect William Wurster, this mid-century cottage is a terrific example of Wurster’s signature modern style. Accentuating the use of natural light & open space, Wurster created a peaceful & stylistic home within a small footprint. Wurster, the namesake for UC Berkeley’s Wurster Hall, built this cottage as his own personal studio in 1960. The cottage features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and is located just above Cordonices Park nestled in the Berkeley Hills. The new owner of this property may choose to expand or simply enjoy the functionality of Wurster’s signature design. A unique architecturally significant home in a highly desirable area, the cottage at 1409 Greenwood is a true Berkeley gem.
