Property description
Built in 1912 by the renowned architect, Walter Ratcliff. This exceptional brown shingle Berkeley home in Elmwood has been lovingly restored. Inside, you'll find a refreshed layout with an open modern floor plan perfect for today's lifestyle. Upon entry you are greeted by a herringbone carrara marble fireplace, freshly painted interiors, and newly refinished original hardwood floors in a rich dark beautiful stain. The brand new kitchen exudes modern simplicity in heather gray cabinets boasting new stainless-steel appliances, an extra large apron sink, and fixtures. Upstairs offers a peaceful master suite bathed in light. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bathroom. Outside you'll find a garden awaits your green thumb, just in time for Spring! An attached shed is perfect for a home office, art studio, or workshop. Just around the corner, are the best College Avenue shopping and dining and not far from Rockridge & Ashby BART, freeway access, schools, and parks.
