About this House

What's unique:Small redwood forestBack deckWebber for outdoor bbq
This is the house that Les Blank lived in from 1987 - 2013. It is furnished and decorated just as he had left it and includes a DVD library of special films that he had collected. and a tremendous cookbook collection. The house is full of character and very comfortable.

Features a large double ended slipper clawfoot tub, a nice shower with sunflower head, and oak hardwood floors throughout.

The art on the walls is mostly by folk artist Butch Anthony from Seale Alabama and other pieces that Les Blank coveted.

There is a downstairs apartment with two guests in it currently which has its own entrance and bathroom. The laundry room downstairs has a washer/dryer that is shared. There is a back room in the house that has been reserved for occasional house guests of Harrod Blank and otherwise is empty and used for Harrod's storage. This room has its own entrance from the deck of the house. The usage of this room may be discussed.

The Les Blank memorial bench was created by local artist and subject of one of Les' films, The Maestro, and is very popular and people often sit in it and take pictures.

The backyard is literally a small redwood forest and very tranquil. The back deck is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal at sunset. There are deer that pass through almost daily. There is also a Webber for outdoor BBQ.

If interested I can send you a link of a walk through video on Vimeo.

    "It's a very safe neighborhood. Cragmont park and remillard park are great for kids. It's beautiful and hilly so you need to be fit to get around. "

    "Easy, I drive to West Berkeley and it’s typically about 12 minutes to get to work. Driving in the Berkeley hills always calls for caution as there are people and children out on the streets where there aren’t always proper sidewalks. "

    "All the wildlife are present - squirrels, cats, deer, turkey to make your dog want to run and chase them away. Rare sightings of coyote in the neighborhood and mid night sounds of wild cats hunting."

    "Hills, architecture, parks every where, great city views on walks, a sense of community (which can make people too wary), greenery, lots of dog walking at any hour, nature is so close which is fantastic for bird watching (Cal Falcons, Commodores, etc), deer frolicking all the time, turkey can be seen on their strolls, every house a drive way but most are too small for cars to fit.

    "Haven't lived in this neighborhood in years, but often go back for friends and family and am always pleased to visit the area. It's green; the architecture is varied by virtue of the topography; stunning views of the City abound and are perfectly centered as this neighborhood is almost due east of the Golden Gate Bridge, which also plays a big role in the neighborhood's wonderful microclimate."
