Property description
Classic Grand Craftsman in Berkeley’s coveted Elmwood neighborhood. Designed by John A Bischoff with incredible period charm, this spacious home is beautifully appointed. Mentioned by the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association, this gorgeous inviting architecture offers 4-6 bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, formal dining room, richly paneled library/music room and living room with fireplace. Eleven rooms in total provide ample space to plan custom living layout and upgrades. This highly sought after location is close to the UC Berkeley campus, yet located in a peaceful and quiet setting, steps away from coffee shops, restaurants and a lifestyle that Berkeley is known for, with a walk/bike score of 94/95.
