Stunning Elmwood Craftsman from 1908! With original millwork and detailing preserved, this 4+ bed/2.5 bath home by renowned Berkeley architect Francis Dakin has been lovingly updated.

A distinctive clinker brick porch with massive timber arbor, grapes and clematis, set the tone of what's to come. A grand staircase greets you in the foyer. Full of personality, six window seats enhance the many multi-lite windows and French doors; birch and fir flooring bring lightness to the handsome wood paneling, beams, trim and built-ins. The handsome tile fireplace (gas insert) adds warmth and coziness. Seismic/foundation strengthening, on-demand water heater and more. Parks, schools and loads of Berkeley amenities are nearby. A quintessential Elmwood Craftsman home that's now one-of-a-kind.
