Property Description

Nestled on a hill beside the Claremont Hotel, this 1921 tri-level home is brimming with Berkeley charm and sweeping views of San Francisco and the Bay. The great room steals the show with floor-to-ceiling windows, a grand fireplace, and original wall sconces that fill the space with a warm, vintage glow. The kitchen blends old and new with a fresh design and a classic O’Keefe & Merritt stove—perfect for everyday cooking or weekend gatherings. Upstairs, the primary suite features its own fireplace and marble-tiled bath, while two adjacent bedrooms share a sunny sitting room with a cozy fireplace, ideal for watching the sunset, and a full bathroom. The third-level bonus room—with its private entry and cabin-like vibe—makes a great family/rumpus room, guest space, studio, or creative hideaway.* Outside, terraced gardens showcase drought-tolerant plants, citrus, and a mature apricot tree. Owned solar, a Tesla Powerwall, air conditioning, and a Tesla EV charger bring modern comfort to this classic hillside retreat. *Buyer to investigate.
