California ‘Saxophone House’ up for sale for $2 million in Berkeley

A quirky gilded house known as the “Saxophone House” is up for sale in Berkeley, California.

The three-story home is listed for $1,997,000. It boasts five bedrooms, four baths and over 4,000 square feet.

“Built in 1996 for an amateur jazz player, you will appreciate the details throughout this home by its magnificent and magical presence, the swirling golden staircases, captivating curved balconies with treble-clef railings, and the massive striking saxophone towers,” its listing reads.

“That’s why the layout’s got this whimsical look of all these details,” real estate agent Derek Han told FOX 2 San Francisco. “It’s a piece of art. This is entertainment heaven.”

The house also offers “sweeping canyon views from the picturesque windows” and a view of Claremont Hills.

Han says that the house will likely sell to an art appreciator, emphasizing that the building is not meant for a “typical family.”
