About This Home

As of March 2018

This iconic brown shingle home was built in Elmwood Park in 1907. It has borne witness to years of grand entertaining, society drama, and the growth of Elmwood into today's destination neighborhood. This stately home retains numerous architecturally important features (glossy hardwood wainscoting, built-in cabinetry, gracious entry salon), and it offers the extra spaces seldom found in more modern homes: private main floor home office, dressing room/sewing room off of two bedrooms, butler's pantry. The spacious two-story interior is amplified by a fully finished 3rd floor (not counted in the public record). Nearly every surface and system was recently updated, replaced or restored, from foundation to walls to windows to the rooms within. The private enclosed garden, and just-installed dual-pane windows keep the world at bay, yet the Elmwood restaurants, theatre, coffee and other shops are just a block away. Enjoy easy commutes with quick access to multiple highways, BART and bus.
