2922 Garber St

Architecturally distinguished Claremont Court home by Henry H. Gutterson, blt 1915. 2922 was the first of Gutterson's many homes and designed for himself and his wife. The design incorporates his love of gardens and desire to make the garden spaces accessible and integrated with the home. He succeeded! All the public rooms open to patios and a large stone terrace with walled seating. Private, lush, and south facing. The main living has a very distinctive gracious living room... interesting windows, 2 doors opening to small decks, a gorgeous stone fireplace and bookshelves at one end. The dining room opens by sliding door to the patio. A great Glenn Jarvis kitchen, part of an expansion done by current owners includes a wonderful breakfast room with two sets of French doors to the garden. Upstairs is a south facing primary suite, opening to a deck, another bedroom, small bedroom/tv room and a rustic treehouse like wood paneled office. Downstairs has options: family room/kids hang out with extra BR, or guest space with full bath and refrigerator/sink. Also separate entrance. One-car garage. Perfect location on cul-de-sac near Monkey Island Park....near the best of the Claremont...hiking trails, Claremont Pool and Spa, Berkeley Tennis Club, Peet's coffee, UC Berkeley, & College Ave.
