About 143 Calvert Court
Welcome Home
"The Spalding House" at 143 Calvert Court in Oakland is a two-level mid-century modern masterpiece designed by famed Case Study Houses architect Edward Killingsworth and is the only house he built outside of Southern California. This rare 4-bed, 2.5-bath find is nestled in a grove of live oaks, and 76 (yes, 76!) windows invite the outside in. Signature Killingsworth details include 10-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling travertine fireplace, a floating staircase, floor-to-ceiling cabinets, built-in wet bar, built-in sound system, solar panels and a sun-lit front arcade with views. The clean lines continue outdoor with patios, fountains and king palm trees that evoke a glamorous retro Palm Springs lifestyle. Start your day with a coffee and Bay view from the front deck; end your day lounging on the side patios with friends and martinis, enjoying a fire pit and fountains.
