Iconic minimalist architect Beverly Thorne's "Music House'' boasts a trailblazing wood, glass, and steel triangle design spanning a ravine, landscaped creek and charming waterfall, all viewable from the double-story great hall with cathedral ceiling and a wall of glass looking out over sun-drenched magnolias, and is crowned by a gigantic central skylight. Seamlessly blending trailblazing architecture with gracious serenity, this private sanctuary offers an experience of nature from every room. Wake each morning to the changing sounds of the creek and an explosion of green, in one of two bedrooms on upper level, each with dedicated full bath. Perfect for entertaining: spacious kitchen, large dining area with adjacent deck, majestic stairway leading down to the hearth, and a sauna for relaxation.  Newly-appointed guest apartment, also with superb view, has a separate entrance. 

Thorne designed one of the great landmarks of 20th-century architecture, the cantilevered Dave Brubeck home. With other mid-century notables, he designed cutting-edge homes for Arts and Architecture Magazine case-study series. See US Modernist Masters, LA Times, SF Gate, and Sunset magazines. 

Kensington, in the Berkeley hills, is moments away from shops, restaurants, regional parks and extensive trails.
