Breathtaking panoramic SF and Bay views from this stately 1924 home on coveted Alvarado Road near the famed Claremont Club & Spa. Set in the lower Claremont Hills amidst lush, landscaped gardens, this spectacular Mediterranean elegantly blends rich architectural details and old-world charm with sophisticated updates. The charming front patio provides a welcome entrance of an era gone by. Inside, the floor plan connects the dining room to an updated eat-in kitchen and breakfast area overlooking the view. A large bedroom suite on the entry level could double as an office space or guest quarter. Filled with rich architectural details, beautifully maintained ironwork, built-ins and floor-to-ceiling windows, this home evokes a warm and inviting feeling perfect for family gatherings or quiet evenings of relaxation.
The grand living room with an elegant, beamed wood ceiling is arranged around a large picture window and opens to a front balcony to enjoy the extraordinary view. The upper level features 3 additional bedrooms and 2 baths, two of them open to the beautifully landscaped, terraced garden with sunny deck, perfect for al fresco dining & relaxing. A garden perch allows for fantastic views and a gate connects to Sunset Trail. Down below, a large workshop and basement provide versatile space for storage, work and wine. The two-car garage provides additional storage. Many upgrades and well maintained! Take the Eucalyptus Path to Claremont Spa, Berkeley Tennis Club, favorite shops and eateries; Transbay express bus to San Francisco, Claremont Canyon trails, not to mention close proximity to Elmwood and shops! Truly a rare gem.

about this
Neighborhood
∎
The Claremont neighborhood straddles the Berkeley and Oakland borders and features lush landscaping, curving streets that hug the canyon hills, and open space. Homes on the leafy side streets provide old-fashioned Berkeley elegance, with turn-of-the-century brown shingles, revivals, prairie-, custom contemporary-, and Tudor-styled structures offering residents a place to call home within the landscaped confines.
The landmark of this area is the majestic Claremont Hotel Club & Spa, a vast Victorian edifice perched on 22 acres in the hills. Three outdoor pools, 10 tennis courts, a full-service spa, a fitness club, and three onsite restaurants deliver stunning views, and the resort has become popular with generations of locals as a luxurious getaway.
Elmwood's shopping district on College Avenue in Berkeley offers old-fashioned shops, access to the Rockridge Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), grocery stores, bookshops, and flower stands. Restaurants, a movies theater, and a bakery are all a short walk away.
The Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve is 208 acres of open space managed by the East Bay Regional Park District and more than 200 acres outside of the canyon owned by the University of California, Berkeley. Garber Park, a 13-acre oak-and-bay-tree woodland south of Claremont Avenue, is owned by the city of Oakland. Trails reward ambitious hikers with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay.
