Posted in BERKELEY on May 3, 2012 by Julie Nachtwey, the Claremont Hills Real Estate Expert

FIRST TIME ON MARKET
Lovely architectural jewel featuring one-bedroom, one bath and study with built-ins. Partial SF Bay Views. Lower level with separate entrance has potential.

THINK BIG
Unusually large upslope lot with 17,000 +/- sq feet.
The house is completely hidden from view on Keeler.
Driveway winds up the hill to ample parking pad and two-car garage with storage.

IN DOOR/OUT DOOR
Rare level lawn! Dining area opens to backyard brick patio
and what seems to be a secret garden. It’s like having your own park.

LOTS OF LIGHT
Windows frame views of the garden, trees and SF Bay. Even the bedroom has a glass door opening to the yard. The light from so many windows compliments the redwood interior and hardwood floors.

ARCHITECT-DESIGNED
This one-of-a-kind house was designed in 1948 by
Winfield Scott Wellington, professor of design at UC Berkeley, 1937-1965. Wellington did residential work throughout The Bay Area.

ART FOR THE PEOPLE

Posted in BERKELEY, ELMWOOD, EVENTS on March 9, 2012 by Julie Nachtwey, the Claremont Hills Real Estate Expert

A unique store, located at 2950 College Avenue in the Elmwood, is turning heads. It’s called “Collector,” and offers affordable original art at prices ranging from $5 to $1000. Collector’s mission is to fill the niche between high-end fine art galleries and artist-run open studios. “It is a great concept and a wonderful venue for local artists to show their work” explained Kristen Jensen, a local artist who grew up in Berkeley and specializes in abstract, landscape and figurative paintings. Below (left) is a photo of three of her playful and colorful Pears.

www.collectorartshop.com

My husband Fred and I attended an art opening at “Collector” last month with friends of the artists and residents of the Elmwood neighborhood. We were amazed that there is something fore every taste, pocketbook and purpose. The selection included: original paintings, drawings, illustrations, prints, ceramics, jewelry noteboods, textiles and various mixed media items.

Kristen happens to be our long-time neighbor, who lives accross the street with her family. She’s also a lawyer — how does she ever find time to paint? We’re lucky she does, because we love her work. We showcase several of her paintings, including Central Park and Sonoma in our home. To see more of her work, visit www.kristenjensenstudio.com Kristen is pictured below (left,center) with Fred and me.

“Collector” was opened in October 2011 by two friends, Skye Sullivan and Christina Begley. Their idea was to make original art more accessible to everyone. Visit “Collector” on Facebook www.facebook.com/collectorartshop make a personal visit to:

2905 College Ave, Elmwood.

Monday-Thursday * 11 – 6

    Friday-Saturday * 11 – 8

                 Sunday * 11 – 5

CHOCOLATE & BEER FESTIVAL!

Posted in NEIGHBORHOOD on February 10, 2012 by Julie Nachtwey, the Claremont Hills Real Estate Expert

Like Chocolate? Beer? Bands?

These are a few of our favorite things.

 

The 3rd Annual Chocolate & Beer Festival is tomorrow SAT Feb 11 from 2 to 6pm

at The Craneway Pavilion near Pt. Richmond.

http://www.craneway.com/Events/Details/li/3rdAnnualChocolateBeerFestival

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This event is for everyone who has a sweet tooth

or appreciates good brew.  It brings together the

tastes we love -  chocolate and beer – and live music!

Two of my neighbors are local entrepreneurs

with a very popular Rockridge establishment.

Bittersweet Chocolate Cafe www.bittersweetcafe.com

 

Their chocolate cafe is among the local

chocolatiers showing off their tasty treats

at The Craneway’s Chocolate & Beer Festival.

 

And then there’s the beer from local breweries…

where do I begin?

Taste and compare for yourself!

 

Proceeds from Craneway’s Chocolate & Beer Festival

go to the Children’s Learning Center, which provides

quality alternative education for children with

special needs.

 

See you there!
