About This Home

As of August 2020

Website and 3D Matterport: www.2931Piedmont.com. Beneath a rose-covered arbor, behind the gate of a lattice-topped fence adorned with climbing roses, 2931 Piedmont is a light-filled 4++BD/3.5BA home in the heart of the Elmwood Park neighborhood of Berkeley. The Craftsman-era architecture blends with just a hint of Victoriana with its columned porch, dormer and bay windows, and front door with custom stained glass panels. Elegantly remodeled and upgraded, the beautifully maintained home features an eat-in chef’s kitchen, renovated baths, a stylish owner’s suite, 4 bedrooms on one level (including owner's suite) , and a finished attic with 2 additional rooms and shared full bath. This historic home was the first home built in the Elmwood Park tract in 1906. Mere steps from Ashby and College Avenues, this charming neighborhood boasts a walkability score of 98, and is close to the historic Elmwood shopping district and theater, as well as local and regional parks.
