1190 Berkeley AVE Claremont, CA 91711

On a corner lot in The Claremont Village, this Spanish Colonial home has spent decades earning its place among the city's architectural landmarks. Designed by the noted firm Marston and Maybury, whose work is admired across several of Claremont's historic properties, the home's character reveals itself before you've even reached the door: green shutters against white stucco, a red tile roof, and a sycamore tree old enough to have shaded generations of owners. From here, the Village's shops and restaurants are a short stroll away, making errands feel like part of the neighborhood's rhythm rather than a task. Step inside and the honeycomb terracotta tile underfoot sets the tone, an original detail that grounds every room it touches. The living room shifts to hardwood floors and fills with natural light, where a wood-burning fire and built-in surround sound turn an ordinary evening into something worth savoring. French doors open onto a private patio, extending the living space outdoors. Open to the living room, the galley kitchen is one of the home's standout features. It has recently been thoughtfully updated while preserving details from the home's past. The original milk door is still there, a reminder of what life was like in the past, while stainless appliances, a built-in cooktop, wine refrigerator and granite counters make it a modern dream kitchen. A breakfast counter provides casual seating while maintaining the streamlined layout, and the adjoining dining room opens directly to the same private patio. Four bedrooms, a dedicated office, and three remodeled bathrooms provide flexibility across the floor plan. Upstairs, a staircase laid with distinctive Spanish tile leads to the primary suite, where a private balcony offers a quiet spot for the first coffee of the day. The ensuite features dual sinks and a tiled walk-in shower. Downstairs, a fully finished basement provides valuable additional space beyond the main living areas. Outside, the backyard carries the character of the residence into a more intimate setting. A gas fire pit creates a natural gathering point, joined by a built-in barbecue and multiple areas for outdoor lounging and dining. Fairy lights overhead create a dramatic atmosphere and carry conversations into the evening. Upgrades and special features include OWNED solar, dual HVAC & updated plumbing. This is a rare opportunity to live inside a piece of Claremont's rich architectural history, updated for the way we love to live today.
