About This Home
As of March 2021Rare Opportunity! Situated in the heart of the highly sought-after Elmwood District, this stately Berkeley brown shingle and its Coast Redwood trees stand sentinel over the neighborhood. First time on the market in nearly 60 years, this 1905 home has been refreshed for its new stewards by NurtureSource Designs, but still maintains its classic details: box-beam ceilings in the dining room, gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, a “butler’s pantry,” three fireplaces and two sun porches with wall-to-wall windows. Four bedrooms on the second level, including an en suite primary with walk-in closet. Second full bath on 2nd level. The piece de resistance of 2746 Russell may be the large and bright finished attic, with a 5th bedroom and plenty of living space which could serve a multitude of uses - home office, art studio, au pair unit, kids’ playroom. One-car attached garage with interior access, and a partial basement with plenty of storage. Walk Score 94, Bike Score 87!
