About This Home
As of November 2024An impeccable rose and flower garden welcomes residents and guests to this gracious Piedmont estate. Built in 1909, the home was designed by noted architect Louis Christian Mullgardt, who also designed the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park, the Court of the Ages at the 1915 Pan Pacific Exposition, and the home of the President of Stanford University. Enter from the garden and choose a room to entertain: the immense living room (with skylights and a distinctive fireplace), or the even-larger family room (with another fireplace). Adjourn to the dining room for a fine meal, or dine casually in the breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen, with French doors leading to a secluded garden and deck. The kitchen features elite appliances, skylights, marble counters, and an island, all under a beamed ceiling. One relaxes or reads in the afternoon in the adjacent sun room. Four bedrooms are upstairs, including the 408-square-foot principal bedroom, and all bedrooms command views of the immaculate garden or surrounding redwoods. The home features 5,570 square feet of finished space, and the home’s lower level offers more: extensive unfinished space that can be built out to the owner’s desires.
