Piedmont, California, 94611 United States

Reflecting high-style Spanish Revival architecture and an elevated perspective of the Bay, this Piedmont villa is awash with glamour, preserved craftsmanship, and indoor-outdoor majesty. Artistry abounds throughout its four-bedroom, three-bath composition, with epically embellished public rooms and a revitalized kitchen.
Characteristically Mediterranean, the sweeping space spotlights water, framing expansive, mesmerizing views of Lake Merritt, the Bay and beyond. Under foot, refinished hardwood floors gleam. Overhead, amid wrought-iron fixtures, stenciled wood beams meet scrolled brackets, up to which the fireplace surround stretches. Artistic expression graces the dining room via tile and stencil-ornamented hutches, their designs echoed on carved-wood doors; French doors connect to a curvaceous stone terrace outlined by exuberant garden. Embedded through it, stone steps lead to level lawn, hardscaped recreation area, vegetable garden, and shed-workshop, all granted privacy by a greenery periphery.
The kitchen’s breakfast area also opens to the outdoor dining and unwinding terrace. Updated, the kitchen features Carrera marble counter and backsplash integrated with high-caliber stainless appliances and abundant cabinetry, including a butler’s pantry.
Each of the three full baths spotlights unique hand-painted accent tile. Within the master, a fanciful tile mosaic arcs above the tub, and a separate shower complements it. All bedrooms are noteworthy for unique endowments: from the master and its dressing area, the Bay vista unfolds, in another, French doors open to the wide-ranging-view balcony, the third contains a spacious walk-in closet, and a lower-level bedroom with two closets, exterior access, and adjacent bathroom offers options. The lower level also contains storage and laundry facilities, augmenting a large array of closets and storage cupboards and two-car garage.
