Truly exceptional, this grand 5+BD/4.5 BA Mid-Century Modern home offers estate living on well over 1/4 of an acre one of Berkeley's most coveted streets in the Claremont neighborhood, where world class amenities are only blocks away including great dining/shopping in Elmwood, Claremont Hotel/Club, UC Berkeley, and the Berkeley Tennis Club. Once owned by the McFarland candy store family, this 4034 SQFT home boasts inspiring architecture, grand proportions, and a rare combination of level entry, bay views and flat, usable grounds. The 5 bedrooms have dedicated baths plus several enjoy glass doors onto a wide deck overlooking the unusually deep lot; the study features original woodwork, built-ins, and fireplace; and the great room enjoys a dramatic wall of windows with Bay views and French doors onto a huge covered deck for indoor/outdoor living. An ideal layout upstairs also features an elegant entry, formal dining room, kitchen, powder room, guest suite with bath (former servant's quarters that might be used for future kitchen development), and a 2-car garage with internal access. Downstairs find 4 spacious bedrooms suites, including a massive primary suite, family room, and spacious laundry and storage rooms. A large unfinished basement awaits down another set of stairs.
