This 1935 charmer captures the essence of Claremont’s architectural heritage, beautifully blending classic character with thoughtful modern updates. Nestled in the sought after North Claremont Sumner / Piedmont Mesa neighborhood, just minutes from the Claremont Colleges, village shops, local dining, and Claremont’s famous hiking and walking trails, this home offers a rare combination of history, charm, and everyday comfort. Lovingly maintained, it features beautiful waterproof luxury vinyl flooring, a remodeled kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, a new HVAC system, complete copper re-plumb, refinished lighting, and elegant finishes throughout. The kitchen showcases soft close drawers, a real stone backsplash, and custom cabinetry with an open China alcove that highlights the home’s timeless craftsmanship.
