About This Property
On a picturesque street in the heart of Elmwood, near the Claremont Hotel, this beautiful 1940 Spanish Colonial Revival by noted architect Edwin Lewis Snyder reveals an interior of remarkable warmth, scale, and architectural craftsmanship. The living room has soaring wood-beamed ceilings, exposed trusses, decorative corbels, a handsome gas insert brick fireplace, and beautifully integrated cabinetry and shelving. Generous multi-paned windows, warm wood paneling, and wide random-plank oak floors enhance the room's remarkable sense of space and character. The inviting dining room continues the home's rich architectural detailing with a handsome wood-paneled ceiling, original hand-blown pendant light, and warm wood floors. A wall of multi-paned French doors opens to a generous new redwood deck overlooking the lush, serene garden, creating a natural extension of the dining room for outdoor meals and entertaining. The adjoining updated eat-in kitchen also enjoys lovely garden views. The almost level-in main floor includes a bedroom and bathroom, along with an office that opens directly to the deck. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath enjoy peaceful outlooks over the front gardens, and a peak of a bay view. A charming, enclosed entrance and brick pathway welcome visitors, while a second gate opens to a brick courtyard and spacious garage or workshop with potential for development and convenient interior access to the kitchen. The new redwood deck, brick patio and lush backyard provide inviting spaces for relaxation and entertaining. With its distinctive architectural details, gracious proportions, and connection to the outdoors, 80 Hazel Road offers a rare combination of historic character and comfortable living in one of Berkeley's most appealing neighborhoods, close to shops, local schools and freeway access. BESO score 1.
