A home for generations...
This stately traditional home, lovingly cared for generations, resides on Stonewall Road, a special street behind the iconic Claremont Hotel. Built in 1932, this shingled, three-story residence is being sold by only its fourth owners. 221 Stonewall has gracious formal spaces, spectacular Bay views, and an effortless indoor/outdoor floor-plan.
The main floor hosts the communal rooms, a living room with library/study that opens to a spacious deck with bay views, a formal dining room with original built-ins and a stylish half bath. The updated eat-in kitchen has been meticulously crafted to meet modern needs while remaining the heart of the home. Offering exquisite stone counters, hand-carved island cabinetry with a prep sink, pantry storage, and attention to every detail, all overlooking the verdant garden. Off the kitchen, a bonus den provides access to a custom grilling deck and an adjacent alfresco dining area, just one of the home's many outdoor spaces.
The upper floor houses three generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary en-suite with a private balcony, all accessible from a gracious hall landing. On the west side of this floor is a large family room with show stopping panoramic views. The lower ground floor offers an additional bedroom, full bath, and office/flex space, perfect for a guest suite or dedicated home office.
The professionally and artfully landscaped garden, full of whimsy and blooms, creates incredible privacy and delightful outdoor spaces. With nearly level-in entry from the detached garage or alley-side access gate, this expansive home provides ample room for all, a beautiful aesthetic and conscientious system updates.

Neighborhood
The Claremont neighborhood straddles the Berkeley and Oakland borders and features lush landscaping, curving streets that hug the canyon hills, and open space. Homes on the leafy side streets provide old-fashioned Berkeley elegance, with turn-of-the-century brown shingles, revivals, prairie-, custom contemporary-, and Tudor-styled structures offering residents a place to call home within the landscaped confines. The landmark of this area is the majestic Claremont Hotel Club & Spa, a vast Victorian edifice perched on 22 acres in the hills. Three outdoor pools, 10 tennis courts, a full-service spa, a fitness club, and three onsite restaurants deliver stunning views, and the resort has become popular with generations of locals as a luxurious getaway. Elmwood's shopping district on College Avenue in Berkeley offers old-fashioned shops, access to the Rockridge Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), grocery stores, bookshops, and flower stands. Restaurants, a movies theater, and a bakery are all a short walk away. The Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve is 208 acres of open space managed by the East Bay Regional Park District and more than 200 acres outside of the canyon owned by the University of California, Berkeley. Garber Park, a 13-acre oak-and-bay-tree woodland south of Claremont Avenue, is owned by the city of Oakland. Trails reward ambitious hikers with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay.
