A rare find in the desirable Claremont Neighborhood: a truly level-in, single-level home with exceptional indoor/outdoor flow & maximum privacy. The public rooms of this L-shaped house provide an elegant space that can accommodate intimate dinners or large gatherings. The living room is of generous proportions, with walls of glass on two sides framing lush garden views on either end. A double-sided fireplace provides ambiance to both dining & living rooms. The adjacent kitchen has a breakfast nook set in a windowed bay with patio access. The bedroom wing is accessed by a long hallway, lined with closets, and leads to two spacious bedrooms, one a primary suite. A semi-attached garage at the front creates a gracious entry courtyard for a feeling of maximum privacy & lush garden views from many angles. Located in one of Berkeley's most coveted neighborhoods near the Claremont Club & Spa, Berkeley Tennis Club, and Star Grocery; just moments from Elmwood and Rockridge shops & restaurants.
