About This Home
As of October 2021In the heart of the Claremont...25 Plaza Drive is a cozy Craftsman style home that abounds with “Old Berkeley” charm. An almost level- in entry hall leads to a large family room opening to the secluded garden. The living room with Inglenook is spacious, inviting and serene and adjacent to a classic dining room with built-ins. The kitchen and baths were updated in 2015/16. A bedroom and full bath on the main level are a great plus. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a light/airy sunroom/office overlooking the private garden. The former garage was converted years ago to a very cool studio/playroom/ workout space opening to the garden. On one of the most desirable streets in Claremont, 25 Plaza is perfectly located ... near Round Park, Star Market, fine dining, pool and tennis clubs, freeway access, BART and the SF Express bus. A gem!
