Description

Just above the stately pillars of Claremont Court, on arguably the most stunning South Berkeley street lined by a canopy of old-growth sycamores, sits this classic 1916 Italianate Craftsman — offered for the first time in 65 years. Exceptional decorative corbels, exquisite period window detailing, and pristine red gum and white oak woodwork throughout speak to both the craftsmanship of the era and the care of those who have called it home. Walk into a large entry hall, then step into a living room with original wood and glass pocket doors, which flows into a dining room with original white oak trim, crown moulding, and a built-in china cabinet. The kitchen and sun room combination opens to a large level-out deck, then just a few steps down to a lawn surrounded by established garden plantings. In addition to generously sized bedrooms and baths, a two-car garage has been expanded into a workshop with heating and skylights. A spacious basement provides bonus possibilities*, as well as a designated laundry area served by a laundry chute. Close to the Elmwood Shopping District, Emerson & John Muir elementary schools**, Monkey Island, Willard Park, and the iconic Claremont Hotel and spa. Bus lines run down College Avenue and around the corner on Derby. The 36 line connects with Rockridge BART, and the Rockridge retail area — UC Berkeley is just a short distance away. BESO score of 7.
