Description

Grand Brown Shingle Beauty in the Heart of Elmwood

Nestled on a secluded street in Berkeley’s beloved Elmwood neighborhood, this grand brown shingle residence blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Just two blocks from the vibrant Ashby and College Avenue corridor, the home offers both tranquility and exceptional convenience.

A charming, fenced front yard with fresh plantings leads to a stately porch featuring a new custom redwood railing (2026) and a pergola gracefully draped in wisteria. Inside, a dramatic entry hall and sweeping staircase set the tone. Pocket doors frame each side of the front hallway, opening to the living and dining rooms, while original stained glass details adorn multiple doors throughout the main level.

Rich hardwood floors run throughout, while exposed beam ceilings anchor the expansive living and dining rooms with warmth and architectural distinction. The extra-long living room is filled with natural light and centered around a classic fireplace. A separate formal dining room showcases original built-in cabinetry and views of the front garden.

The updated kitchen pairs modern cabinetry and Corian countertops with a beloved classic Wedgewood stove. A separate butler’s pantry provides generous additional storage, while an eat-in kitchen room overlooks the backyard. A cozy den tucked beneath the stairwell and a convenient half bath complete the main level.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms offer comfortable retreats. The spacious primary suite features two walls of windows, a large closet, and a new custom vanity (2026). A secondary bedroom opens to a sweet second-story deck, and the updated hall bath includes an extra-wide vanity and shower stall. A bonus sunroom at the rear of the home adds flexibility for an office, playroom, or relaxation space.*

The private, fenced backyard is an inviting oasis with a cobblestone patio and a mature lemon tree framed around the back deck. A detached one-car garage offers additional potential.

With a brand-new roof and gutters (2026), updated foundation, and fresh interior and exterior paint, this home is move-in ready. Enjoy being just moments from neighborhood favorites like Rialto Cinemas Elmwood, Italian Homemade Company, Summer Kitchen + Bake Shop, and Claremont Club & Spa—all while coming home to a peaceful Elmwood retreat.

Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values.

Welcome to Berkeley

Internationally known for its intellectual richness, cultural diversity, and progressive values, Berkeley is a model California city that its residents are proud to call home.
 
With an abundance of restaurants, cafes, museums, bookstores, art galleries, movie theaters, and performance venues befitting a university town, Berkeley has no shortage of activities to stimulate the senses. It’s also an incredibly picturesque city, with tree-lined streets, beautiful gardens, ample parks, and hidden walkways and staircases.
 
Berkeley’s distinct neighborhoods have a range of architectural styles, including charming Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, California cottages, wooded hillside retreats, and magnificent period revival homes. Much of  Berkeley’s real estate is notable for its singular architectural styles, some of which were designed by famed architects Bernard Maybeck, John Hudson Thomas and Julia Morgan.
 
In addition to being in close proximity to the prestigious University of California at Berkeley, residents also enjoy convenient freeway access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley. Three BART stations (Ashby, Downtown Berkeley, and North Berkeley), as well as the AC Transit bus system, serve the city. If you’re looking for an escape, Tilden Regional Park offers 2,065 acres of trails, meadows and forests, just minutes from downtown. You’ll also find biking trails, a botanical garden, picnic areas, an 18-hole golf course, and a lake for swimming. For kids, there’s a carousel ride, petting zoo, steam train, pony rides, and an environmental education center.
