Designed and built in 1929 by famed architect Walter H. Ratcliff, this distinguished grand 5 Bedroom/4 Bath Tudor is characterized by a steeply pitched gabled roof, elaborate masonry and exposed wood framework. The gated residence is beautifully sited on a large lot and surrounded by lovely mature gardens. An elegant arched entryway leads to the “great” living room with vaulted 10’ ceilings and coved stucco walls. Multi-paned casement windows light up the large rooms with dappled light. The stunning updated kitchen features custom cabinetry and is ideal for entertaining or for intimate eat-in meals. An office, two bedrooms and a sunroom that opens to the terraced gardens with fruit trees, lush plantings and sitting areas complete the downstairs. Upstairs, three gorgeous bedrooms, including the master suite, have beautiful fixtures, well preserved finishes and hardwood floors throughout. The semi-finished full height basement contains ample room for a workshop or studio, the large attic provides significant storage space. A detached two-car garage has been used as an art studio.
Meticulously maintained and updated with seismically updated, improved foundation and systems - a testament to pride of ownership. Architectural significance, modern upgrades and maximum privacy - a rare opportunity on one of the most coveted streets near College Ave, Rockridge BART and just steps to the Claremont Hotel.
