Property Description

Architectural Gem in the Heart of Old Inverness! Located on the highly coveted Inverness Mesa, 95 Forres Way is a remarkable example of the Arts and Crafts era. Designed by celebrated architect Ernest Coxhead for himself and his family circa 1909, the home has a character and warmth that are unmistakably Inverness. The residence was constructed of beautiful old-growth redwood that has developed an iridescent quality with age. While careful upgrades have been introduced for modern comforts and standards, the home has been exceptionally preserved to honor the original spirit and character intended by its architect. From the quiet street and sunny front gardens, the home appears to be an unassuming single-level residence; however, the descending landscape reveals a significant lower level. After passing through the ivy-lined entry, guests are greeted by stunning combined dining and living rooms featuring a striking brick fireplace and ample windows. Accordion doors open to a sun-soaked veranda, offering views of Mt. Vision framed by madrone and breathtaking heritage oaks. A light-filled kitchen, three bedrooms, an office, and a full bathroom complete the main level. The lower level provides a versatile second living area with two more bedrooms and an additional bath, creating an ideal space for guests or creative endeavors. The prime location is within easy walking distance of Inverness Village and offers convenient access to the scenic hiking trails of Mt. Vision. Historical insights and photography of the home, referred to as The Mary and Almeric Coxhead Bungalow, can be found in Courtney Linn's recently published book, Inverness By Design: How Berkeley Made a Summer Place. Ernest Coxhead is recognized as one of the great architects of the San Francisco Bay Area's Arts and Crafts era.
