Historic notes: The previous owner who resided here for forty years stated that this residence was featured in the San Francisco World Fair (1939) exhibiting modern organic construction methods which were both green and sustainable. Noted Architects/builders - Cliff May, William Wurster, and Lillian Rice chose to build hybrid adobe homes in this manner because not only was the material beautiful, it is strong and durable, and eco-friendly with excellent thermal properties uses less energy for heating and cooling. 13 Marchant Court is an excellent example of reinforced adobe construction showcasing its beauty and timeless quality.

Neighborhood Gallery

13 Marchant Court

∎

Thanks to its proximity to the University of California, Berkeley campus, Kensington may boast the largest number of Nobel Prize winners of any community in the world. But one look at this neighborhood of large homes in the hilly streets above Berkeley, its commanding views of the Bay Area, and sunny terraced yards will explain why this community is one of the most sought after in the East Bay. 
Famed architect Bernard Maybeck had a home on Purdue Street. The homes he designed here at the turn of last century have become an informal blueprint for the signature home in Berkeley. These well-proportioned homes are designed for family life and dinner parties. Shingle siding, rustic construction, and bright expansive vistas are the hallmark of the homes in Kensington.
Tilden Park provides the boundary to the east. Miles of biking and hiking trails, a miniature steam train, exhibition farm, merry go-round, and the naturally landscaped swimming hole at Lake Anza make Tilden a popular destination for families.
Transportation via Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is convenient. Heading on Colusa Avenue leads to the El Cerrito Plaza BART station and a short drive down Arlington Avenue takes you to North Berkeley BART and North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood. There are two distinct shopping districts in Kensington.
