Modern All Electric New Construction Home w/ Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Dwell on Fairview: The Final Detached Offering
The final release at Dwell on Fairview introduces a rare opportunity for detached new construction in South Berkeley.
 
Tucked away at the quiet rear edge of the Dwell on Fairview enclave for maximum privacy and security, this home was envisioned by a local husband-and-wife design-build team who curated the warm contemporary style and personally crafted many of the wood treatments throughout the home.

An Architectural Narrative
The entry opens immediately into a dramatic, open-concept great room where the ceiling climbs to a twenty-five-foot peak. Anchored by polished concrete floors and a custom steel-railed staircase with integrated step lighting, the space is a study in light and volume. Sunlight floods through a soaring wall of glass. Clean lines provide the architectural language. 

The Culinary Centerpiece
The kitchen features Belgian white oak cabinet faces, designer tile backsplashes, and curved floating shelves. An eight-foot quartz island transitions seamlessly into a solid white oak dining table, creating a natural hub for the modern entertainer. Professional-grade induction cooking and a dedicated pantry/laundry area ensure the space is functional.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow
The transition between the interior and the landscaped grounds is managed by a massive, sixteen-foot wide bifold door system. When fully retracted, the great room opens to an expansive hardwood deck composed of Cumaru and Ipe. The lush surroundings feature Japanese Maples, Pink Dogwood, and succulents, and are supported by a timed drip system and heavy-duty landscape fabric for low-maintenance beauty.

Flexibility by Design
Designed for long-term adaptability and space efficiency, the floorplan supports single-level living with a primary suite located on the main floor. This retreat offers direct garden access through sliding glass doors, multiple closets including a walk in and a spa-like en-suite bathroom equipped with a large walk-in shower and dual-sink vanity.
Upstairs, the warm wood-floored landing serves as a versatile open loft and office area. This flex space overlooks the great room below, providing an inspiring environment for remote work. Two guest bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath featuring integrated shelving and designer tile work.

Infrastructure for the Future
Beyond aesthetics, the home is built for the next generation of sustainable living. 
  • All-electric home
  • A 2.3kW solar power system 
  • EV-ready charging outlet 
  • 5-zone high-efficiency HVAC (mini-splits in all rooms)

Neighborhood

You can't get closer to the University of California, Berkeley campus than South Berkeley, the neighborhood originally developed in the 1860s by the school’s predecessor, the College of California. The latter institution may be long gone, but the large, spacious, brown-shingled homes along Allston, Bancroft, Channing, and Dwight ways remain. Densely populated, the neighborhood contains some of the city’s oldest homes.
South Berkeley is a mix of students, longtime residents, businesses, and homes. The major thoroughfares are Telegraph Avenue, Bancroft Way, and Alcatraz Avenue, where street vendors, bookstores, record shops, and inexpensive eateries cater to students. Nightlife is abundant, thanks to the proximity to campus, Zellerbach Hall, and Downtown Berkeley.
Both the Ashby and Downtown Berkeley BART stations serve the neighborhood, as do a number of Alameda-Contra Costa Transit buses, making it a snap to get to downtown San Francisco, local airports, sports stadiums, and other locations in the Bay Area.
