Description

This home is a phenomenal 1929 Tudor set in the Berkeley Hills. Bask in the perfectly framed view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the extremely large picture window.

From the amazing high-beamed ceilings and archways to the stained glass leaded diamond windows, the period details and old-world charm of this home are unmistakable.

At the lovely entryway there is a large, carved wood staircase with terrific diamond-paned windows with stained glass embellishments. On this level, you'll find a large and inviting living room and a beautiful formal dining room. There is a Jetsons-style 1960s kitchen with eat-in breakfast area plus interior access to the large one car garage replete with quarter bath*.

Downstairs the family room includes laundry, a full bath, and large bedroom. This area opens out onto the lovely deck and garden.

Upstairs there are three very large bedrooms and two jack and jill-style full baths that are accessible from either side. All the rear-facing bedrooms have a phenomenal view of the Bay and Golden Gate. The rear bedroom has a small door which gives access to a very large attic space that is perfect for storage, or playing childhood fantasy games!

There is a huge lot waiting for your lush gardening touch, and the whole property is about as uber-Berkeley as possible.

The location is prime. It's right across the street from the rear portion of Cragmont Elementary**, and near the corner of Marin and Spruce. This home is a great location for commuters and one of the most regal homes to grace the block.

*Not on tax records, buyer to verify with the city.

**Any interested parties should verify school district and availability, as attendance is not guaranteed.

    "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!"

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
