Property Description

Across from the iconic Claremont Hotel in one of Berkeley’s most prestigious neighborhoods, this extraordinary home is a masterwork of 1920s architecture—blending Mediterranean warmth with Colonial symmetry and elegance. Designed by Willis C. Lowe and built by master mason Emil Gloor—whose legacy includes Hearst Castle’s pools and the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza—it features full brick veneer construction, terracotta tile accents, arched windows, and hand-forged ironwork. Inside, vaulted ceilings, stunning craftsmanship details, gorgeous original oak floors, and sunlit rooms flow to balconies, brick patios, and sweeping views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and the Bay. Gracious floorplan includes a living room with fireplace, formal dining room, library with fireplace, kitchen with breakfast nook, and powder room on the main level. Upstairs features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Lower level offers a large flexible space, storage, and garden access. The lush, terraced garden is anchored by a majestic redwood and bordered by flowering trees, with a pathway leading to a second street entrance that offers rare development potential (ADU, lot split). A two-car garage and an additional parking space. Steps from historic walking paths, tennis, Domingo Avenue cafés, Elmwood shops, and BART.
