586 66th St

Tucked away at the vibrant Oakland/Berkeley border, 586 66th St. is a private modern sanctuary designed by renowned architect Mike Pitler as his own residence. This 2008-built home blends clean lines, warm materials, and eco-conscious design to create a space that feels both elevated and grounded. Soaring 9’ doors and expansive windows blur the line between indoors and out, filling each room with natural light. The chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a 36” Blue Star range, Fisher & Paykel fridge, Bosch dishwasher, and a marble-topped island ready for gathering. Upstairs, a vaulted primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spa-like bath, while two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for work, guests, or play. Outside, a sun-drenched ipe deck and a café-lit covered patio invite slow mornings and lively evenings. Thoughtfully built with E/V charging, PV solar, low-maintenance siding, recycled insulation, and low VOC finishes. Ample storage, walk-in closets, attic, bike and tool sheds. Set in back of a quiet 4-home community, just minutes to BART, Berkeley Bowl, Whole Foods, UC Berkeley, Rockridge, and Elmwood shopping + dining.
