Designer's one-time dream home in North
Berkeley impresses in first public sale ever

An architect's unique mid-century dream home in North Berkeley has just hit the market for the first time ever, virtually unchanged from the bittersweet day Walter Popenuck and family moved there in 1960.

"I've never seen a house like this. It's just, to my mind, organic architecture at its best," said Christian Thede, listing agent on the property for Berkeley-based Northbrae Properties and a veteran of 17 years in real estate.

The striking and unusual three-bed, two-bath home has 1,896 square feet and is being listed for $1,449,000.
