From the Agent: "This unique building concept by late owner, artist, and composer Charles MacDermed—but alas, never fully realized—soars in the Berkeley Hills. The owner described it as ‘a nest cupped aloft to the open air and light protected by perfect geometry.’ It’s substantial in its current steel structure, and you could add your own equally interesting and visionary designs by repurposing what is a very dynamic living area. The top floor has voluminous space and light, lending itself to a modern, open living plan while the middle and bottom levels and extensive outdoor deck allow you to create your private life among interior and exterior art and beauty. The sale includes two parcels, giving the buyer the opportunity to secure ample privacy or to build. This listing marks the first time the property has ever surfaced the market."
