Rare and stunning Timbre Architects–designed remodel of a classic Elmwood Craftsman, ideally located for an easy, walkable lifestyle near the shops, cafés, dining, and everyday conveniences of College and Claremont. With ample off-street parking, you may hardly need your car once you’re home. This gracious 3BD/2.5BA residence also includes a bonus office and detached garage ideal for storage, studio, or flexible use. Thoughtful modern updates beautifully complement the home’s original character. Delicate picture-rail soffits and custom wood trim echo the original entry doors and staircase, creating a seamless dialogue between old and new. Heath tile accents elevate the kitchen bar, powder room, and living room fireplace, while the chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, a Bluestar range, and drawer microwave. Designed for easy indoor-outdoor living, the home opens to a landscaped, café-lit yard ready for summer entertaining. With new windows, updated electrical and plumbing, hardwood floors, and turnkey condition throughout, this is a rare Elmwood offering that pairs architectural quality with exceptional neighborhood convenience.
