875 Colusa Ave

This is a condominium: Introducing a truly one-of-a-kind architectural residence within a converted 1924 Masonic Temple in the heart of Berkeley's Solano Avenue. Spanning approximately 3,464± sqft across two levels, this extraordinary home is the largest residence of its kind in Berkeley: offering a scale, volume, and presence rarely seen in the East Bay market. Soaring ceilings, expansive open living spaces, and striking industrial and modern design elements create an unparalleled living experience. Natural sunlight floods the interiors, while warm textures, curated finishes, and gallery-like walls balance sophistication with comfort. Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and everyday living, the residence features multiple living areas, a spacious dining room, an expansive chef’s kitchen, flexible office and creative spaces, abundant storage, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a private 870 sqft wraparound redwood deck and landscaped outdoor areas. The upper level hosts a generously sized primary suite and versatile bonus spaces ideal for work, wellness, studio use, or guest accommodations. Access the residence directly from the attached two-car garage further enhances functionality. There is an abundance of storage space in the garage and even an automatic exclusive-use dumb-waiter for transporting items to the residence's pantry. The property was transformed in 2001. A trophy-caliber Berkeley residence of remarkable scale and architectural significance, 875 Colusa is an iconic and extraordinarily rare offering that delivers an experience — not just a home. A true statement property for those who value architecture, volume, history, and rarity.
