Excellent combination of a traditional look and a light and airy modern interior design on a quiet, tree-lined Piedmont street near Dracena Park. The house is in Piedmont's Beach Elementary school catchment, as well as Piedmont Middle and High Schools. Note: offered unfurnished, although photos shown furnished. Possible to consider furnished. The location is convenient to walk or bike to shopping and dining on Piedmont Ave, Grand Ave, and College Avenue. Easy commute to SF on the P Transbay bus, nearby BART stations (Rockridge and Macarthur), and easy access to 580 and the Bay Bridge (15 minutes to downtown SF with no traffic, 30-45 minutes during commute hours). One off-street parking spot (garage or driveway) and plenty of on-street parking. Very safe neighborhood with excellent and fast response by Piedmont's police and fire departments. Friendly neighbors who have lived on this street for a long time. This house is perfect for a family, great for entertaining, and for easy flow from indoor to outdoor to enjoy the beautiful garden. The architect-designed remodel (2013-14) achieves an excellent open-plan distribution with four bedrooms, an office, family room, three full bathrooms plus a half bathroom, and large laundry with lots of storage. Large and well equipped kitchen with plenty of cabinets, large island, two sinks, wine cooler, and a walk-in pantry. The master bedroom has vaulted ceilings and en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Upstairs is perfect for kids, with two bright bedrooms, a "secret room" to play, and a full bathroom. Downstairs, on the ground level next to the Family Room, a large fourth bedroom and bathroom provide privacy from the rest of the house. The house is fully up to date with all new structural, electrical, plumbing, windows, roof, and high quality finishes throughout. Brand new washer and dryer. This is a high energy efficiency home with new insulation, new windows and doors, high efficiency appliances, and solar panels. Danish-designed wood-burning fireplace is a center piece in the LR/DR and easily heats most of the house. Equipped with a SimpliSafe security system with cameras and sensors, as well as app-controlled lighting, thermostats, and smoke detectors. Serviced with broadband fiber optic internet. Built-in speaker system on the main floor. The house has a separate office with a half bathroom to work from home. The laundry room, served with a laundry chute from the upper floors, has tons of storage cabinets, a utility sink, and countertops providing extra space.
