Modern Colonial in beautiful Claremont. An extensive remodel of this home maintains the period appeal but adds contemporary touches and an inviting floorplan. The renovated kitchen, dining, and sunroom form a single living space with a sunlit breakfast nook and sliding doors that open to a brick patio shaded by a mature California oak. Upstairs, the addition of a master bath makes the second story a comfortable and functional 3 bedroom/2 bath, complete with a sun-filled deck overlooking the backyard. The home also includes new hardwood floors installed 2015 on the main level, a renovated detached garage/multi-purpose room, and smart-home devices. Outside, a Brazilian hardwood fence, lights, and landscaping afford privacy and curb appeal. Being very close to the Claremont Hotel and Club, the Berkeley Tennis Club, Fournee Bakery, Peet’s, Star Grocery, Rick & Ann’s restaurant, Elmwood and Rockridge, this unique home has a City feel with East Bay space and charm.

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.
