Property Description
Perfectly placed in the Claremont between Elmwood and Rockridge, this Midcentury gem is a rare example of thoughtful preservation. Just a short walk to Rockridge BART or Star Grocery, the home is perched to take in sweeping views of San Francisco and the Oakland port, best enjoyed from the covered front deck—whether over dinner or as an open-air workspace.Cantilevered with striking Midcentury lines, the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath design balances drama and livability. A soaring, wood-paneled living room with exposed beams and a flagstone fireplace—anchored by a teak mantle and built-in planter—opens to a generous dining area, with double doors extending to the private backyard patio.The kitchen’s vintage yellow tile counters and Dutch door lend warmth and function. Entry-level guest quarters feature a preserved yellow-tiled bath beside a full laundry. Upstairs, the primary suite captures stunning vistas with two large closets, a dressing room, and an original pink-tiled bath—a hallmark of Midcentury design. A third, triangular bedroom with its own half-bath offers flexibility as a retreat or home office.Parking for two cars is tucked below, accessed via a shared private drive.
