2701 Belrose is an expansive, stately property in Berkeley's coveted Claremont neighborhood. Owned by one family since 1963, the home has its original layout and features intact, presenting a rare opportunity to update an iconic Claremont gem. Designed by Architect Benjamin McDougall in 1921, the house is set on a double corner lot with a gently sloping front yard and a park-like backyard. Featuring a Palazzo-style exterior, three large arches welcome visitors up the front steps to the wide front porch with stone benches. Lead-paned windows add to the inviting elegant glow and cast natural light throughout. The front door opens to a foyer with a stately winding staircase with mahogany trim and generous-sized formal rooms with oak floors. The gracious dining room is ideal for entertaining with a striking crystal chandelier and one of the home's three fireplaces. The spacious living room looks out over both the front and backyards. It leads to a cozy wood-paneled library with built-ins and terra cotta floor. The kitchen has a sunny windowed dining nook and pantry. Tucked behind the kitchen, there's a full bath, a small bedroom and a laundry room. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two and a half baths and a balcony. The primary bedroom extends the width of the house with lovely views and an ensuite bathroom. Several walk-in closets and an unfinished basement provide ample storage. Most rooms look out over the gardens and the greenery beyond. The back yard extends to Tanglewood Ave, a lovely, quiet street with upscale older homes. It features mature flowering trees, a patio area and space for play or entertaining. The location is ideal. On the North, it borders UC Berkeley's attractive Clark Kerr campus. A path across from its driveway leads directly to Claremont Canyon hiking trails and a popular running track. It is walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Domingo and College Avenues, as well as the Claremont Hotel, UC Berkeley and public transportation. Offered as-is.
