About This Home

As of September 2020

Imagine a world of graciousness in this classic home above the Claremont Hotel. Soothe your soul from many vignettes: private and sunny outdoor areas, pick flowers/vegetables in your own garden, catch a peek of the Golden Gate bridge from your bedroom window. You’ll appreciate the thoughtful upgrades: engineered seismic and drainage plan, newer furnace, rebuilt decks, lush gardenscape, Berkeley Mills custom kitchen. When you’re ready to go beyond the comforting perimeter of 45 Alvarado Road, you’re close to Peets, Rick & Ann’s, Fournee Bakery, The Claremont Club, Berkeley Tennis Club and the greater Elmwood/Rockridge neighborhoods.
