Davis House
Originally built in the late 19th century for the attorney of the storied Hearst Family, this resplendent manor was one of the first homes to grace Panoramic Hill. Just as close to campus as to a leisurely walk in the woods or hike in the fire trails, Davis is a welcoming and comfortable retreat. Though we’re only thirty-six members large, our generous common areas lure us out of our rooms for late night snacks and conversations ranging from dark energy to postmodern readings of Lady Gaga music videos to the state of the political world to the chemical composition of nutritional yeast. Our many TVs bring us together for movie nights, karaoke, sporting events, and Mario Kart tournaments. We’re a tight-knit community grateful to have the chance to live in such a beautiful space. With one couch for every three members, one is never in want for a place to plop down and chat, nap, play music, or simply lay in elegant repose. Us Davisaurs are a well-kept sort, at least on the surface. Underneath our glistening kitchen counters and freshly polished wood beats the heart of a cooperative as quirky as any other.
At Davis House, we’re not about indoctrinating you into house-worship (though we do have our share of dinosaur decor in honor of our collective alter ego). We’re about bringing out the best in our members. On any given afternoon you’re as likely to hear beautifully styled piano music wafting through the house, as dubstep bass lines rattling your bedroom floor. Come for a visit. See our beautiful foyer, three (!) decorative marble fireplaces, delightful sun room, patio with a luscious garden, and sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay. Taste our scrumptious dinners, and join us afterward for a cheesy acoustic sing-along or a thought provoking conversation. Don’t let our Julia Morgan facade fool you into thinking we’re as erudite as our house—the only upper-crust you’ll find here is on our delicious pastries and gourmet dinners.
