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. The front door opens to a foyer with a stately winding staircase with mahogany trim and generous-sized formal rooms with oak floors. Lead-paned windows cast natural light throughout. 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 windowed dining nook and pantry. Tucked behind it, 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. 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. Walk to Domingo and College Avenues, the Claremont Hotel, UC Berkeley and public transportation.
