Overview

It is said the key to happiness is to buy experiences, not things. But what if a house is both? A place where everyday adventures unfold. Owned by the same family for nearly 40 years, this home is the backdrop for a lifetime of memories. This house is a sunny day, with ceilings painted blue like the sky. Spacious and light. Wood floors throughout. Fantastic built-in bookshelf is your own private library with room for all your books and tchotchkes. The primary bedroom with its cozy window seat is a passport to wherever your book takes you, near or far. The second bedroom’s built-in desk might just elevate homework to a journey exploring faraway places, even if only in the imagination. The big, bright kitchen is perfectly positioned for backyard explorers—whether they are discovering bumblebees or basil—opening onto both a sunny side yard and a shaded backyard in the company of a majestic redwood. A true backyard sanctuary! Large, detached two-car garage is a versatile bonus with plenty of space and potential. Just a block behind Piedmont Ave and all the best shops, cafes, bookstores, and everything that makes the neighborhood so special. This is a house for adventurers and homebodies. Whether your trek is around the block or around the world, this is a house to come home to.
