About This Home

As of September 2020

Built by the acclaimed architect Walter H. Ratcliff Jr., this exquisitely renovated Craftsman home is timeless. Surrounded by lush gardens, river rock columns frame a large front porch and living room fireplace surround. Bold wood paneling and ceiling beams give a sense of solidity and warmth complemented by hand-crafted bespoke millwork and cabinetry throughout. The spacious dining room with built-in hutch opens to a family room/den with leaded glass pocket doors, and to a generous eat-in kitchen equipped with a subzero refrigerator, Lacanche two-oven five-burner stove, hammered copper hood, double farmhouse sink, and stone countertops. A breakfast nook opens to the garden offering various areas to enjoy dining alfresco and relaxing. A skylight illuminates the way to an extra-large master suite. The baths are adorned with intricate tile work and elegant fixtures. An expansive cellar provides ample storage. Rockridge BART, Rockridge, Elmwood and Domingo shopping and dining nearby.
