3020 Garber St, Berkeley, CA 94705

Secluded on lush, level grounds in one of Berkeley’s finest neighborhoods, this stately Dutch Colonial Revival home was designed by John Hudson Thomas in 1918 and built in 1924. From the Doric columns and upper balustrade that frame the formal entry, through the elegant arches of the central hall and  staircase, to the columns of the garden portico beyond, here classical design and proportions create a home that is as livable as it is beautiful. Deep bay windows overlook wide gardens from the grand living and dining rooms; between them, beneath the fanned beams of its balustraded roof, the rear portico defines a splendid outdoor room. The versatile 6 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom plan is filled with possibilities, while the artfully landscaped third acre site on what is now a leafy cul-de-sac is fully fenced for pets and play. Well-loved and lovingly maintained by its owners of nearly fifty years, this Claremont Court treasure invites a new generation to fill its halls and gardens with new life and new love.
