SAN FRANCISCO, CA, May 14, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
2850 Buena Vista Way, former Berkeley Hills dream home of the late
UC Berkeley Professor/IAES Director Robert Scalapino, steps on the
market with an asking price of $1,895,000.

UC Berkeley Architect Robert Ratcliff, son of another famed Cal
Architect Walter Ratcliff, designed the 4BR/3.5BA mid-century home
for Scalapino and his wife Dee — a well-known opera singer — to
entertain large academic audiences and musicians from around the
world. 2850 Buena Vista Way sits on a half-acre lot, includes over
4,000 sq. ft. of living space and features breathtaking views of the
San Francisco Bay and skyline from all angles.

The large open living room is a mini concert hall, acoustically
designed with high beamed ceilings around the grand piano, and
seating for approximately 100. Both the living room and the large
dining room open out to a courtyard with a mini stage — the perfect
spot for outdoor concerts. Additionally, there are four official
bedrooms, again for visitors from all over the world, each with their
own view of the Bay. The home is set on a private cul-de-sac,
surrounded by the natural wooded landscape of the Berkeley Hills.

from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. See full property details at
