Property description
From 1954–1970 this quintessential craftsman was owned by Ralph Gleason, legendary jazz writer and co-founder of Rolling Stone Magazine. During that time, he conducted interviews from his home with artists such as John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, and Quincy Jones as they were passing through SF on tour. Today you can still feel the history in this house. Situated in the heart of Elmwood, this 3 bd/2 ba 1988 sq ft home offers beautiful, coffered ceilings in the living and dining rooms, two fireplaces, a large kitchen, and gorgeous woodwork throughout. The attic offers an additional 1779 sq ft of bonus space perfect for a family room, home office, and more—just bring your imagination. The large backyard has fruit trees, planter boxes, and plenty of space for entertaining. All the charm and location one could want with easy access to retail, restaurants, and transportation. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of music history in the heart of one of Berkeley’s hottest neighborhoods.
