About This Home

As of July 2022

61 Oak Ridge Road is a most magical and romantic villa designed in 1930 by architect Clarence Tantau. Located on a special cul-de-sac in the Claremont, this home is unique in its design, offering fabulous entertaining spaces, beautiful retreats both in and outside the house, a small art studio. Upstairs office. French doors open from public rooms to the beautiful western facing garden with pool, a rarity in the Claremont. Some Bay views. Feel like you are living in Italy, while just a stone’s throw from the Claremont Club, Berkeley Tennis Club, Peet’s Coffee, the SF Express bus, and the many amenities of the Claremont/Elmwood/Rockridge Districts. Two car garage + additional off-street parking. The home is mostly in original condition, so updating is needed, but oh so worth it. This is a rare opportunity indeed!
