About This Home

As of July 2025

A stunning fusion of historic charm and modern design, this exceptional Elmwood residence, a 1905 Leola Hall, has been significantly transformed through a masterful top-to-bottom renovation including foundation, electric, plumbing and roof. While the original exterior maintains its historic look, the interior is a sophisticated expression of contemporary living - crafted for comfort, efficiency, and everyday luxury. The open-concept main level living, combines dining, and kitchen spaces that flow seamlessly across the length of the home. Full-height glass sliders open to a sunny deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The sleek chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium appliances, built-in lighting, and richly curated materials. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms include a vaulted-ceiling primary suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath. A one-car garage, basement plus space and ample storage meet the needs of modern life, while the wrap-around green space offers space to garden, play, or simply relax. This is design-forward living at its finest - set on a coveted, tree-lined street in one of Berkeley’s most desirable neighborhoods, this property is a truly rare find.
