About This Home
Welcome to 2953 Hillegass Ave, an Incredible 1910 Arts & Crafts, brown shingled Bungalow home on an oversized lot in Berkeley's coveted Elmwood district.
A literal "landscaper's paradise" this craftsman home has been lovingly maintained and beautifully landscaped by the current owners. Nestled into the tree lined streets of Berkeley's historic Elmwood neighborhood just two blocks to College Avenues's popular restaurants and small businesses.
From the moment you walk through the fence you will begin to feel the relaxed atmosphere and the integration with nature. The landscaping on this large lot is the perfect blend of fruit trees and pollinator attracting plants. There is a large gate and plenty of space to pull in for off street parking. The large covered porch invites you to come inside the home.
The formal entry welcomes you into the home and features two built-in benches. The living room is the site of an amazing fireplace flanked by two beautiful built-in benches and bookshelves. The coffered box beam ceilings and original sconces capture the true spirit of this incredible "Art & Crafts" bungalow. The sun room is everyone's favorite spot! It is the perfect place to relax and curl up with your favorite book!
The dining room radiates warmth with handsome cornice detail: wide frieze boards stacked casings and plate board. The highlight of this room is the substantial built-in hutch and bar. The rustic eat-in kitchen feels right at home in this house! Live edge wood countertops and soft wood floors give it an organic feel. Light floods into the kitchen from the adjacent sitting room (formerly the 3rd bedroom) and gently spills out to the ground level deck and patio surrounded by the perfect blend of fruit trees and pollinator attracting plants. It's here in the beautifully curated garden that you will know that will experience a deep serenity and know that you are home!
There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on this level. For the more adventurous there is a pull down staircase that leads up to the incredible 439 sq. ft. attic space! For the more faint of heart there is a large exterior staircase that leads up to the amazing artists studio attic space. Part craft room, part office and potential primary suite, this room will definitely capture everyone imagination.
