Tahoe Mt home meets the Southwest…in Berkeley! This is the first home built by well-known East Bay Architect James Servais. Private from the street, w/ a barn-like façade set behind an electric gate. This unique home opens to Vicente Creek, trees and sky on the south side......one's own world but just a short distance from the Claremont Hotel, Peet's Coffee, BART, and fine dining. Open floorplan creates a warm & inviting “great room” with a sitting area around a Santa Fe style fireplace, huge windows, open dining, & access to a deck above Harwood Creek. Remodeled kitchen w/ generous eating area. Laundry, ½ bath + multiple closets on main level. Upstairs is a wonderful tv/family room. Generous primary suite w/ fireplace + large closet/dressing room and bath. The guest bedroom has a loft to access rooftop solar. Finally, the perfect office for those who work at home…large, light & open to the trees and sky. Two-car garage, side patio, low-care garden. Truly a special home in The Claremont!
