About this House
Welcome Home.
The Biedenbach Estate is nestled in an approximately 1.5 secluded acres of redwood and oak trees across the street from the Claremont Hotel. Hand built in the 1920's by Carl Biedenbach, this enclave includes his 3 bedroom, 3 bath home and 4 cottages in a setting that is hard to believe and yet so close to all the East Bay has to offer. Walking distance to Domingo Avenue, Elmwood and Claremont shopping and dining districts, tennis at the historic Berkeley Tennis Club, The University of California and much more.
But it is the property that is the star here. Deer wondering the grounds, a daily light show cascading through the canopy of gorgeous oak and redwood trees. Sitting on the front deck in the morning sun, listening to the birds and watching the morning light dancing between the limbs, trying to find the ground is a real treat.
The 3 bedroom, 3 bath main house features hardwood floors throughout, a tree room, large living room with handmade stone fireplace, large country kitchen, spacious deck with views of Mt. Tam and Downtown Oakland, and a long beautiful drive through driveway. The main house also includes two 1 bedroom, 1 bath rental units on the first floor.
The cottages have high ceilings, hardwood floors, some with stone fireplaces, wonderful original windows and ample parking. The renovation possibilities are endless with these incredibly charming structures.
In addition, there is a separate parcel of approximately 17,000 square feet of land that comes with the property giving a private country setting or possibility for development. For the last 90 years, this lot has been home to various wildlife and used as a private garden.
The property is being delivered nearly vacant, allowing a buyer to rent out the property at full fair market rents. We believe the property would be well-received on the rental market.
The property has a Berkeley mailing address (2626 Claremont Avenue, Berkeley) as well as an Oakland address (7287 Claremont Avenue, Oakland) for property taxes and city services.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageChabot has been more than a wonderful school, but grown to be our community. The teachers and principal are some of the most dedicated educators in the Bay Area. The focus they give not just in academics, but building strong social/emotional learning is second to none. After three years with the school we are already dreading the time when our kiddo will graduate and we will move on from the Chabot family.Parent Review2y ago - Claremont Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been pleased with our experience at Claremont - there are a few teachers that I have encountered are not well-liked by parents or students, but for the majority of the staff are hardworking and wonderful with our students.Special Ed parents need to be strong advocates, especially if their child is high-functioning.Parent Review10mo ago - Oakland Technical High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth my sons attended Tech, and have enjoyed it. My oldest son is now getting ready to transfer to UC next fall and my younger son is currently a junior and enrolled in AP classes that are as challenging as any college class I’ve seen. I feel the curriculum has prepared both boys well for college. They’ve experienced no bullying, and have made great friends here and they’ve generally liked their teachers. Overall we’ve been happy with our kids attending Oakland Tech!Parent Review2y ago - Thornhill Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThornhill Elementary has been a safe haven for my child and our family. We have been very pleased with the teachers and other administrators including the principal. Our child is neurodivergent and he has found his "people" and we have also felt truly supported during our time at Thornhill. Of course, things can always be better, it is an Oakland public school, but we are so happy to be a part of the Thornhill community as it continues to strive to be better.Parent Review1y ago - Home And Hospital Program
