Tucked in the tranquil enclave of Claremont, near The Claremont Hotel, lies a residence that embodies a harmonious fusion of nature and architectural brilliance. 1 Roble Road stands as a testament to inspired craftsmanship and meticulous design, offering a sanctuary where every detail tells a story of artistic vision and thoughtful curation.
A home of distinct character shaped by its architectural elements and idyllic surroundings. As you approach, the leaded glass window panes catch the sunlight, casting prismatic patterns that dance across the interior. The vaulted timber framing lends a sense of grandeur, echoing the majesty of the outdoors, while skylights punctuate the ceiling, inviting the ever-changing play of light and shadow. Shoji screens gracefully divide the dining room, offering privacy without sacrificing the flow of natural light. When folded away, they reveal the full expanse of the home, a space so enchanting it could grace the pages of Architectural Digest.
Every window serves as a frame for the captivating landscape beyond, drawing the eye to verdant gardens and towering trees that seem to whisper secrets of ages past. Here, there is no distinction between front and back yard; instead, each direction offers a new vista to explore, a hidden corner waiting to be discovered amidst the lush foliage.
In this remarkable home, light is not merely a presence but a masterful tool, manipulated by the skilled hand of the architect to evoke a sense of tranquility and wonder. It is a place where the soul finds solace, where the beauty of nature converges with the artistry of human ingenuity to create an unparalleled living experience.

The Claremont neighborhood straddles the Berkeley and Oakland borders and features lush landscaping, curving streets that hug the canyon hills, and open space. Homes on the leafy side streets provide old-fashioned Berkeley elegance, with turn-of-the-century brown shingles, revivals, prairie-, custom contemporary-, and Tudor-styled structures offering residents a place to call home within the landscaped confines.
The landmark of this area is the majestic Claremont Hotel Club & Spa, a vast Victorian edifice perched on 22 acres in the hills. Three outdoor pools, 10 tennis courts, a full-service spa, a fitness club, and three onsite restaurants deliver stunning views, and the resort has become popular with generations of locals as a luxurious getaway.
Elmwood's shopping district on College Avenue in Berkeley offers old-fashioned shops, access to the Rockridge Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), grocery stores, bookshops, and flower stands. Restaurants, a movies theater, and a bakery are all a short walk away.
The Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve is 208 acres of open space managed by the East Bay Regional Park District and more than 200 acres outside of the canyon owned by the University of California, Berkeley. Garber Park, a 13-acre oak-and-bay-tree woodland south of Claremont Avenue, is owned by the city of Oakland. Trails reward ambitious hikers with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay.
