Property Description

Nestled in the tight-knit community of lower Elmwood sits 2121 Carleton; a classic brown-shingle Craftsman, of the variety that gave Berkeley its distinct architectural reputation. You'll be drawn in by the lush, mature front garden, and find yourself on a generous front porch where perhaps your shoes, skateboards or galoshes might make their home one day. Upon entering, the original unpainted millwork sets the tone of this home. To your right is a sunny dining room, surrounded by windows through which south-ward light pours in. To your left is a generous living room, which can be experienced two ways; as a gathering space in the day, or a cozy, book-reading haven in the evening. The remodeled kitchen is just through here; spacious, ergonomic, and updated, designed to live well in a historic home. Adjacent to the kitchen to is the sunny family room with views of the garden, which has vaulted wood ceilings and sits beside a full bathroom/laundry room. A big deck right off the family room welcomes you to enjoy your morning coffee, host a summer outdoor dinner, or adventure into the yard to garden, lounge and play under the shade of a generous Redwood tree. Back inside are the three bedrooms – each with their own personality – and a second full bathroom. And, finally, the secret joy of this home; a full finished attic space with its own half bath, that provides endless possibilities —an enormous office? Play room? The dream nap location? 2121 Carleton is the quintessential Berkeley home, ready for a life to unfold here – and flexible enough to make it your own. | Home energy score forthcoming.
