From the moment you arrive at 1021 Siler Place, a deep sense of peace and tranquility washes over you. Set against the wild unspoiled beauty of Claremont Canyon, sitting on over a half-acre of land, this home has been lovingly held in one family for 66 years. Making its market debut, this mid-century modern beauty was built by the family’s uncle with extraordinary care and craftsmanship. Constructed from reclaimed old-growth redwood salvaged from a North Bay bridge, the vaulted ceilings and walls of natural redwood create warmth, openness, and dramatic vertical spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundaries between inside and out framing sweeping views of the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mount Tam. You’re not just looking at nature—you’re living within it!
The home flows effortlessly through connected kitchen, dining, and living spaces each opening naturally to the next. With a built-in sofa, elegant plank shelving, shoji screens, and the striking brick fireplace, the original mid-century features remain beautifully intact. Even a built-in house vacuum system speaks to the forward-thinking design of the era. French doors off the dining room open to new wrap-around redwood decks that extend your living space into the surrounding level yard—perfect for entertaining, quiet reflection, or sunset dinner parties gazing out to the view. With exciting potential to expand the home's footprint, the property consists of three lots of land and has a spacious basement on the lower level.
This piece of Bay Area history, just moments from UC Berkeley, the Claremont Hotel, and the Elmwood & Rockridge neighborhoods, is ready to welcome new owners who will appreciate its beauty and soul as much as the family who built it!

Neighborhood
∎
The Claremont neighborhood straddles the Berkeley and Oakland borders and features lush landscaping, curving streets that hug the canyon hills, and open space. Homes on the leafy side streets provide old-fashioned Berkeley elegance, with turn-of-the-century brown shingles, revivals, prairie-, custom contemporary-, and Tudor-styled structures offering residents a place to call home within the landscaped confines.
The landmark of this area is the majestic Claremont Hotel Club & Spa, a vast Victorian edifice perched on 22 acres in the hills. Three outdoor pools, 10 tennis courts, a full-service spa, a fitness club, and three onsite restaurants deliver stunning views, and the resort has become popular with generations of locals as a luxurious getaway.
Elmwood's shopping district on College Avenue in Berkeley offers old-fashioned shops, access to the Rockridge Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), grocery stores, bookshops, and flower stands. Restaurants, a movies theater, and a bakery are all a short walk away.
The Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve is 208 acres of open space managed by the East Bay Regional Park District and more than 200 acres outside of the canyon owned by the University of California, Berkeley. Garber Park, a 13-acre oak-and-bay-tree woodland south of Claremont Avenue, is owned by the city of Oakland. Trails reward ambitious hikers with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay.
