From the Representative: “606 Grizzly Peak is among the fantastic under-the-radar midcentury homes in the East Bay. It sits on a stretch of Grizzly Peak Boulevard that architecture lovers understand well: a ridgeline address where Morgan Shaw, Henry Hill, and a handful of other landmark designers left their mark across the postwar years. 3 bedrooms and two baths are arranged around an open living and dining-room with views that stop individuals mid-sentence. The lower level was transformed from an incomplete shell into a roomy living room and research study, a generous visitor bedroom, and a beautifully ended up full bath. The two-car garage was transformed into an expert painting studio with skylights, art lighting, and a custom-made outside door purpose-built for major creative work. Painter Wanda Westberg and her partner, Richard Pettler, a noted attorney and art collector, purchased the home in 2012 and transformed it into something truly singular: a living gallery where first-rate art was made and displayed in the very space that motivated it.”
