Description

Rarely does a property like this come on the market in the heart of the historic Claremont neighborhood! Striking metamorphosis from the past to the present, this home was meticulously redesigned from top to bottom and underwent a comprehensive overhaul, stripping it down to the studs for a modern renaissance. Blending the 1919 Edna Deakin exterior with a contemporary Craftsman interior, it is a fusion of timeless elegance and cutting-edge innovation. Boasting state-of-the-art systems, premium fixtures, & impeccable custom finishes, it radiates luxury throughout. The expansive open living/dining area spans the entire length of the home leading to a spacious deck with distant views. The chef's kitchen features honed marble counters, a LaCanche range imported from France, a Sub-Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher, and a Gagggenau oven. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms, including the opulent primary suite with a walk-in closet & deck for a private retreat. On the lower level, 3 addl. bedrooms, including a guest suite & convenient kitchenette. Generously proportioned family room opens to a deck and enchanting gardens, creating an ideal space for relaxation. Garage for storage and workshop adds convenience. This residence epitomizes stunning design, the pinnacle of luxury living in Berkeley.

    "Challenging as more people are driving and fewer taking public transportations following the pandemic"
  • Trulia User
    "Hiking on the hill when the wildflowers are in bloom and the 180% view is as clear as a bell. The best of the Bay. "
  • Trulia User
    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"
  • Ravi
    "Friendly, nice people that have lived here forever. Near the Claremont hotel and club. Great weather. "
