Updated Traditional Home Close to Urban Conveniences

Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street just a stone’s throw from Dracena Park is this updated Traditional with a Mediterranean flair. Newly refinished hardwood floors, abundant natural light, period casework and grand living spaces are just a prelude to the exquisite and expansive rear grounds seamlessly accessed from both levels of the property. If you want to leave the car at home, the excellent public schools and Piedmont services as well as the chic cafés and shopping on Piedmont Avenue are at your fingertips. 

A graceful archway opens the foyer to the sun-drenched living room where a high ceiling and a stately fireplace is flanked by custom cabinetry. Transitioning from the living room, just beyond the archway, you’ll find a dining room that sets the stage for large memorable gatherings with friends and family.

Adjacent you’ll find the heart of the home, a chef’s eat-in kitchen and sunny breakfast room, featuring counter seating, glass front cabinetry and stainless appliances including a French door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and four-burner gas range with custom copper hood. Open the double French doors to a large rear deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, ideal for grilling and al fresco dining under the stars.

On the main level, two generous bedrooms including a primary suite with an updated bath, and a convenient powder room for guests provide comfortable accommodations. 

Make your way down to the lower level and discover a bedroom, an updated bath with a walk-in shower and an office/plus room. The spacious family room with second fireplace, is perfect for sleepover parties, movie nights, and play and opens to the rear grounds for your outdoor enjoyment. Completing the lower level is interior access to the oversized one-car attached garage with laundry sink, work bench and room for storage.

Finally, you’ll be able to escape to your private oasis in the backyard, where flagstone patios intertwine with lush gardens and a custom water feature create a tranquil retreat. Explore raised planting beds, a fenced blueberry patch, and ample space for outdoor activities and urban farming. You may never want to leave.

Conveniently located just blocks from top-rated schools, two off- leash dog parks, and trendy cafes and shops on Piedmont Avenue, this home offers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. With easy access to public transit, casual carpool, freeways, and recreational amenities, your Piedmont dream awaits. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity.
