About this home

Rarely does a property like this come on the market in the heart of the historic Claremont neighborhood! Striking metamorphosis from the past to the present, this home was meticulously redesigned from top to bottom and underwent a comprehensive overhaul, stripping it down to the studs for a modern renaissance. Blending the 1919 Edna Deakin exterior with a contemporary Craftsman interior, it is a fusion of timeless elegance and cutting-edge innovation. Boasting state-of-the-art systems, premium fixtures, & impeccable custom finishes, it radiates luxury throughout. The expansive open living/dining area spans the entire length of the home leading to a spacious deck with distant views. The chef's kitchen features honed marble counters, a LaCanche range imported from France, a Sub-Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher, and a Gagggenau oven. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms, including the opulent primary suite with a walk-in closet & deck for a private retreat. On the lower level, 3 addl. bedrooms, including a guest suite & convenient kitchenette. Generously proportioned family room opens to a deck and enchanting gardens, creating an ideal space for relaxation. Garage for storage and workshop adds convenience. This residence epitomizes stunning design, the pinnacle of luxury living in Berkeley.

R-1H

Single Family Residential District - Hillside Overlay Zone

The purpose of the Single-Family Residential (R-1) district is to: Recognize and protect the existing pattern of development in the low-density, single-family residential areas of the city consistent with the General Plan; Make housing available for persons who desire detached housing and a relatively large amount of usable open space; Protect adjacent properties from unreasonable obstruction of light and air; and Permit community facilities such as religious assembly uses, schools, parks, and libraries which serve the local population and are not detrimental to the immediate neighborhood.; The purpose of the Hillside (H) overlay zone is to: implement General Plan policies for hillside development; protect the safety and health of residents where steep topography, unusual street conditions and proximity to the wildland-urban interface create severe risk from wildfire; protect the character of Berkeley's hillside areas and their immediate environs; give reasonable protection to views yet allow appropriate development of all property; and allow modifications in standard setback and height requirements when justified because of steep topography, irregular lot pattern, unusual street conditions, or other special aspects of the hillside areas.
