Elmwood
An iconic expression of Elmwood elegance, this stately 5+BR/4BA Edwardian presides gracefully on a coveted corner lot just moments from the charm and vibrancy of College Avenue. Framed by mature trees and lush, park-like gardens, the home offers a rare combination of architectural significance, refined updates, and an exceptional lifestyle in one of Berkeley’s most beloved neighborhoods. From the moment you arrive, the home’s signature rounded windows and commanding presence set the tone. A dramatic entry unfolds into a grand foyer, an inviting introduction to interiors defined by light, scale, and timeless detail. The living room is both sophisticated and welcoming, with soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, an elegant fireplace, and beveled glass windows that capture the surrounding neighborhood in soft, luminous light.
Designed for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining, the formal dining room is a showpiece, with oversized windows and original pocket doors that create a seamless flow between spaces. At the heart of the home, the beautifully reimagined chef’s kitchen is a study in both form and function, bathed in natural light and appointed with extra-thick Carrara marble counters, top-tier appliances, a striking full-height refrigerator, brand-new double ovens, and abundant custom storage, including a thoughtfully designed pull-out pantry. A generous eat-in area and bar seating invite connection, conversation, and everyday luxury.
Ascending a wide, light-filled staircase crowned by a skylight, the upper level reveals a serene and luxurious primary suite with generous proportions, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a steam shower, refined finishes, and skylights. Two additional bedrooms, a full and half bath, and a conveniently located laundry room provide comfort and practicality. A stunning family room or office, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, opens to a private deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living.
The top floor offers a versatile retreat beneath the roofline, with skylights and enchanting Bay glimpses, ideal for guests, creative pursuits, or wellness space. Completing the property is a private guest suite with full bath and its own garden entrance, overlooking a tranquil brick patio, perfect for extended stays or au pair living. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, the home includes a newer foundation, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and generous basement storage. Outside, the gardens offer a peaceful sanctuary, with curated plantings and intimate sitting areas that enhance the home’s sense of retreat. Just two blocks from Elmwood’s beloved cafés, boutiques, library, and everyday conveniences and moments to Claremont Canyon trails and easy commute routes, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Berkeley classic, where architectural beauty and elevated living come together in perfect harmony.
