About this House

What's unique:Ornate fireplaceFlowing fountainMarble islandGenerously proportioned primary suiteFragrant rosebushesHigh-end appliances
This luxuriously crafted classic Italianate Mediterranean-style home, a pleasant walk from the majestic Claremont Hotel, is on the market for the first time in over 20 years and has been carefully updated while staying true to its original details. An elegant courtyard designed by renowned landscape architect Thomas Church greets you with a flowing fountain, fragrant rosebushes, lavender, and a stone path stretching from porch to fountain — timeless, romantic, and quietly grand, with an unmistakable feeling of French Provence. Inside, rich hardwood floors and monumental mahogany doors set a tone of quiet luxury. The gracious living room anchors the home with built-in shelving and an ornate fireplace, while grand French doors dissolve the line between indoor elegance and outdoor serenity. Sweeping bay views carry through both the dining room and the chef’s kitchen, which impresses with a marble island, stainless steel countertop, high-end appliances, and an eat-in space overlooking the bay and bridges beyond. Completing this level is a full bath, laundry room, and an entertainment room with French doors to the courtyard — equally suited as a study, office, or fourth bedroom. A gorgeous staircase with wrought iron banister leads to the second level, where each of three spacious bedrooms offers the privacy of an en suite bath. The rear bedroom has a newly remodeled bathroom and peaceful views of the back yard’s Live Oaks, while Juliette windows in the front bedroom overlook the courtyard below. The generously proportioned primary suite offers sweeping views and a retreat-like bath with soaking tub, standing shower, and walk-in closet, just steps from the rooftop deck. Tucked into the coveted Claremont neighborhood, this property offers rare privacy and seclusion while remaining moments from BART and freeway access, Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve, and the village-style charm of neighborhood cafés, bakeries, and boutiques — plus the vibrant restaurants and shops of Elmwood and Rockridge beyond. Here, you have the best of both worlds: a private sanctuary with Berkeley and Oakland at your fingertips. Energy score = 1.

  • 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. "
