Description

A 1908 Craftsman beauty designed by John Hudson Thomas and his partner George Plowman. Located in the popular Elmwood neighborhood near Emerson School, this home offers many amenities, including prime location, quiet, access to College Ave shops and eateries and near the Claremont Pool and Tennis Club. Original redwood interiors are warm and spacious. An updated kitchen with pantry as well as breakfast room both open to the deck on south side. Two separate patios are quiet and dazzled by a cecil bruner rose in full bloom. A flexible floorplan creates options for living, including the former 3rd bedroom upstairs now an in-law with kitchenette, private deck, bath + study/tv room or use as a primary suite or multigenerational. There are two additional bedrooms, 1 with balcony and an updated bath with shower and tub. The former 4th bedroom on main level works as an office with built-ins or occasional bedroom with full bath. Located at the western base of Garber hill, this home is a classic beauty with 1 car garage.
