It would be fair to call it a private sanctuary as well as a mini-estate.
This home, belonging to renowned cookbook author Mollie Katzen, is for sale in the Berkeley Hills, asking $1.950M.It seems fitting that Mollie Katzen, the author and illustrator of"The Moosewood Cookbook" and"The Enchanted Broccoli Forest," lives in a similarly enchanting home, surrounded by lush gardens and the forested Berkeley Hills. Now,The main home offers 3,300 square feet with four beds and three baths.
In the main home are two in-suite bedrooms. This one features a stunning view from its private balcony.This home was built in 1948 and offers 3,292 square feet of living space, backing onto the endless trails of Tilden Park. Because the property consists of the main home, a guest suite and a writer's cottage, all nestled on a sylvan, 25,515-square-foot lot in woodsy Kensington, it would be fair to call it a private sanctuary as well as a mini-estate.
On top of the main house, this lovely space served as an art studio for Katzen and could now be a lounge, an office, or again a studio.That writer's cottage has been a workspace for Katzen, as has the 400-square-foot artist studio that crowns the main home's second floor."From the big studio upstairs, where I created my paintings and illustrations, you’ll be able to see a nightly glow of sunset, and a spectacular, unobstructed view of each month’s full moon.
