Updated Piedmont Traditional With a European Flair 

Nestled on a tree-lined street within blocks of the best urban conveniences is this enchanting Mediterranean, substantially re-built from the ground up in 2011. Charming 1920’s period details are intertwined with contemporary styling providing an oasis of modern comfort. With all the fine Piedmont public services nearby, including excellent schools and recreational facilities, you will never be far from anything your household will need. 

Set back from the street, you’ll enjoy the beautifully landscaped front garden with water-wise plantings and raised bed as you make your way to the front porch. Head inside to the welcoming foyer where you will find dramatic formal rooms with coved ceilings bathed in natural light from multiple windows. To the left is the generous living room with a gas fireplace and on the right is the dining room, ready to host your holiday gatherings with family and friends.   

For the discerning chef, the well-equipped kitchen features a 42” side-by-side refrigerator, Dynasty five-burner gas range with Gaggenau hood, and Bosch dishwasher. Stunning stone counters and a second sink provide plenty of room for easy food preparation. The adjoining breakfast room performs double duty as a casual dining space and a den to keep tabs on the household while you are in chef mode.  French doors open to a stone terrace for outdoor grilling, dining under the stars and access to the rear grounds.   

Two generous bedrooms and an updated bath are ready for your family, guests or home office. 

Downstairs is a spacious family room that opens to the backyard and is perfect as a play space, media room, or teen hangout. The primary bedroom features a wall of closets and a French door that leads to the rear grounds. The adjoining spa-like bathroom includes a walk-in shower, separate tub, and bidet.  

You’ll discover many thoughtful updates including the built-in drawers under the stairs and the custom mahogany shelving in the 4th bedroom. Laundry facilities, a half bath and a large storage room, ideal for your Costco supplies and holiday decorations, complete the lower level. 

Meandering grounds accessed seamlessly from both floors offer a private outdoor sanctuary. Flagstone pathways lead to multiple planting areas, fruit trees including pear, lemon and fig, and a level area, perfect for sports or a play structure. A variety of patios allow plenty of opportunities for outdoor entertaining,  lounging or relaxing with a good book. 

The detached two-car garage was built in 2011and was primarily used as a workshop and studio by the owners. With windows on three sides, this is a sunny and inviting space. The long driveway provides plenty of off-street parking for multiple cars, although you may not need to use them too often with shopping, dining, public transportation and services all just blocks from your front door.  A walkscore of 86!
