Description

The Original Piedmont Pines. This 1937 Tudor is the first property built in the neighborhood. A home for generations of the previous owner’s family, it was originally designed for their great-grandfather, who devoted the upper sunroom to his wife so she could paint the tranquil canyon and bay views, and the lower nautical themed bedroom for his son, who dreamed of the sea. Handcrafted woodwork details throughout include box beams ceilings in the living room, ornate mouldings and a built-in curved bench for the breakfast nook. Meticulously cared for by the current owners, improvements include a completely rebuilt front patio bathed in jasmine, welcoming friends old and new, an ideal spot for cookouts in the mild summer evenings. The main level boasts a renovated kitchen, including a gas range with tiled surround. A full bath adjacent to the bedroom allows for ideal guest quarters. The upper features a large primary off of the sunroom, with another bedroom for family or perhaps a sanctuary suite. The lower has two bedrooms, a den, accessory space and separate entrance - perfect for au pair, work from home or extended kin. The backyard has a lush fenced lawn for puppy to frolic, and a southern exposure downslope that is begging to be terraced for container veggie gardening. The open space of Beaconsfield Canyon beckons beyond.
