Nestled into a hillside near the historic Claremont Hotel and Spa, 7361 Claremont Avenue represents the romance and architecture of Berkeley in the early 1900s, yet with modern upgrades and amenities. Once part of the large land ownership of the Holabird Estate, the building boasts unique and exceptional details including keystone arches, fireplace bricks with century old horseshoes and hidden hearth seating and grand stair cases. In addition, a small artistic wall of prohibition bottles can be viewed in the rear garden, a tribute to the local lore that this was once the site of Prohibition bootlegging operations. With sweeping views from almost every window, each unit has access to sundecks, balconies and a private rear garden.
7361 Claremont features seven units with a variety of bedroom configurations. The 5-plex was originally a three-story, single family home that was converted into multiple units in the 1930s. The sixth unit consists of an entitled, permitted 1BR ADU located in the current right garage bay currently under construction with updated facade. The 7th unit is an entitled 2BR ADU, which is an expansion of the existing shed structure at the top of the property.
Tucked behind the Claremont Hotel and Spa and walkable to Elmwood, Rockridge, and UC Berkeley, the property feels secluded in the canyon just moments to protected and serene Garber Park with its lush hiking trails. Yet the cafes, stores and amenities of the Claremont District and Elmwood are around the corner, as well as access to the 24 freeway and AC Transit 80 to BART for commuters.
