625 Yale The King Residence - a rare architectural offering on coveted Yale Avenue, a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of the Claremont Village. Designed by the acclaimed Wheeler & Wheeler and completed in 2005, coming in at just under 1800sf, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home was masterfully created to honor the character and craftsmanship of Claremont’s cherished 1920s–1940s architecture while benefiting from modern construction standards, updated systems, and newer materials. Its authenticity and attention to detail earned an Award of Excellence from the City of Claremont Architectural Commission. From the inviting wraparound porch to the vaulted ceilings, cohesive custom wood cabinetry, and time-appropriate natural rock fireplace and walls, every element reflects a level of design intentionality rarely found in newer construction. The spacious kitchen with center island opens comfortably into the living spaces, blending warmth, function, and classic architectural character. The primary suite continues the home’s timeless aesthetic with a classic clawfoot soaking tub that feels perfectly suited to the residence’s vintage-inspired design. Situated on a duplex-zoned lot, the property also includes a second 1BR, 1BA home built in 1950, presenting a rare opportunity for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, rental income potential, or a private work-from-home environment... all within one of Claremont’s most desirable Village locations. Perfectly positioned within walking distance to parks, the Claremont Colleges, and the Village’s renowned shopping and dining, this is a timeless residence that seamlessly belongs among Claremont’s historic homes while offering the advantages of contemporary construction.
