Posted in BERKELEY, ELMWOOD, FEATURED PROPERTIES on August 29, 2011 by Julie Nachtwey, the Claremont Hills Real Estate Expert

Walk score 95 — Imagine a gracious 1906 home with an over-sized yard — just three blocks below College Avenue and the Elmwood shopping district. The address is 2905 Regent in Berkeley. The first floor features beautiful  architectural period details and a separate family room, remodeled kitchen  and full bath. The second story has four generous-sized bedrooms, sun porch and second full bath. Outside, beyond the deck, is a secret garden, lush and wild. It’s quite unusual to find such a large and relatively private backyard. Come see for yourself!
