Originally designed by renowned architect Houghton Sawyer, this sophisticated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the rare comfort of all-level living in one of Piedmont’s most coveted neighborhoods. Bathed in natural light, it seamlessly blends timeless mid-century design with thoughtful modern updates, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. At the heart of the home, a recently refreshed chef’s eat-in kitchen. The open living and dining rooms extend naturally outdoors, setting the stage for lively entertaining or quiet evenings at home. A private bedroom wing ensures restful retreat, while the versatile lower level provides flexibility with a gym/office and generous storage. Located in sought-after Piedmont, this architectural gem is just minutes from top-rated schools, Mulberry’s Market, and the city’s exciting new state-of-the-art community pool.
