Privately situated behind a gated entry, this extraordinary 1927 Mediterranean estate blends timeless elegance with sweeping San Francisco Bay and bridge views. Just blocks from Piedmont’s top-rated schools, parks, sports facilities, and newly built community pool, the home offers exceptional privacy and convenience. A picturesque bridge over a tranquil pond leads to dramatic interiors filled with natural light, vaulted beamed ceilings, French doors, and expansive entertaining spaces. The main level features a grand living room with fireplace, sunroom opening to a view terrace, formal dining room, and an eat-in kitchen with teak flooring, original brickwork and a spacious breakfast room with access to a side deck with built-in BBQ. Two bedrooms and a bath complete the level including the stately primary bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, sitting area and gorgeous Bay views. Downstairs, a spacious family room, mahogany-paneled office, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and laundry room provide flexible living with interior access to the 2-car garage. The third level includes a private guest or in-law suite, wine storage and a large flex room ready for your gym, studio, home theatre or potential for ADU. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the private grounds feature terraces, patios, a level lawn, fruit trees, and lush landscaping creating intimate outdoor “rooms” throughout the property. This rare Piedmont estate masterfully blends the timeless romance of Mediterranean architecture with modern livability, offering unparalleled privacy, scale, and breathtaking views.
