#cantilevered house

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Late jazz legend Dave Brubeck's 1953 MCM cantilevered house in Oakland, California is on the market for $3M. It has 4bds, 4ba, and is cantilevered 16 ft. in the air. Designed by architect Beverley D. Thorne.

Five steel beams project in two directions allowing the house to "float" above the challenging hillside lot, while preserving the natural beauty of a site that commands a magnificent panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay.

The spacious living room features glass walls for a great view, plus a stone fireplace.

This deck has the best view of San Francisco Bay.

It's a dinette now, but it used to be the music room where the Dave Brubeck Quartet practiced. It's famous for the rock projecting out of the center of the house.

I think the rock is the coolest feature. It sort of looks like a frog.

The large kitchen has been updated, but the cabinetry looks like original MCM style.

A small area of the kitchen has a bistro table set and opens to this deck.

Large primary bedroom is divided into 2 areas.

Bedroom #2 has a nook with a desk.

Bedroom #3 is smaller and painted a pleasant blue.

Small exercise space has a nice view.

This patio looks like it's almost as high as the roof.

The drive leading up to the front door has a carport.

You can see here how the house is built among the rocks.

Check out the view at night.

Attractive home balanced above a rocky .29 acre lot.

Green is considered an emotionally calming color. That property is quite apparent in the master bedroom, where the forest-green walls and shoji-like glass screens create an atmosphere of almost oriental tranquility. The charcoal carpeting that runs through the living room and bedroom is also used to upholster the birch-trimmed bookshelf in front of the glass screen.

the biggest problem with owning a 3d printer is it makes you into the kind of person who owns a 3d printer. the second biggest problem with owning a 3d printer is leveling the stupid little gayass bed (do not tell me to buy an automatic bed leveler. that is the cowards way out). the third biggest problem with owning a 3d printer is that no matter how hard you try it is physically impossible to print everyone you know an autism slug at sufficient speed.
