Grand brown shingle in Berkeley’s coveted Elmwood neighborhood, just two blocks from Ashby and College. A charming front yard leads to a stately porch with custom redwood railing and wisteria-draped pergola. A dramatic entry hall with sweeping staircase is framed by pocket doors opening to the living and dining rooms, both featuring rich hardwood floors and exposed beam ceilings. The light-filled, extra-long living room centers around a classic fireplace, while the formal dining room showcases original built-in cabinetry. Original stained glass adorns multiple doors throughout. The updated kitchen offers modern cabinetry, Corian counters, classic Wedgewood, and separate butler’s pantry, plus an eat-in kitchen room overlooking the backyard. A den tucked beneath the stairs and a half bath complete the main floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite boasts two walls of windows, large closet and new custom vanity. The second bedroom opens to a second-story deck. An updated hall bath, bonus sunroom* and third bedroom round out the upper level. The private, fenced backyard features a cobblestone patio, mature lemon tree and back deck, while a detached one-car garage offers potential. New roof & gutters, updated foundation, fresh paint inside & out. BESO score 4. *Buyer to investigate.
