Old is GOLD! Built in 1951, this brown eyed beauty is situated in the prestigious Claremont Estates, and has bragging rights of being a rare pre fire era home, which is one of the few remaining. This split level-Mid Century Modern dynamo is charming at 1,550 Sq Ft with 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, hardwood floors, and a sexy brick fireplace. Just a stone’s throw to the newly renovated Claremont Hotel, one can be at Peet's coffee, Rick & Ann's, or an incredible French Bakery in a heartbeat. This retro style tree house has an expansive back deck overlooking the S.F Bay, making it ideal for spotting hawks while sipping your Martini after a speedy commute home from BART, Hwy 13, 24 or 580. This artist’s sanctuary is nestled amidst the magical Oaks of The Claremont Canyon Preserve and is perfectly situated next to Garber Park, which awaits you and your four legged furry friends, but don’t be surprised if you don’t see a single soul, because it’s your own private wonderland, or so it feels. While friendly neighbors enjoy visiting with each other on the private tree lined cul de sac, you can enjoy peace and quiet, day or night, any day of the year. As you enter through the the upper level of the home, which features luscious stained Indonesian mahogany walls, you are taken back by the vaulted open beam ceilings, and the expansive floor to ceiling bay windows. Just down the hall are two bedrooms, and one hall bath. Imagine waking up to a view filled room, and winding down with stunning sunset light, or napping in the cool auxiliary spare bedroom, where you will write the next great american novel. There is ample closet space, and storage throughout. A quaint terra cotta tiled front patio off the kitchen, leads to a charming front wooden deck, which is perfect for al fresco dining under the twinkling stars. On the lower level one can find a second full bathroom, with a separate entrance for those who need some privacy, and a spare master or rumpus/studio room which opens to the nearly wrap around deck with stairs leading down to the lower street below, for faster foot access to the many secret foot paths that line Slater, Alvarado & Evergreen Lane. This is a special and rare opportunity to partake in the lifestyle you have always dreamed of, but the best is yet to come…Berkeley address, Oakland taxes.
