Stylish, traditional home with modern accents
Classical details are on full display at 2014 Oakland Ave. in Piedmont, a traditional three-bedroom with contemporary flourishes.
Hardwood flooring graces the interior of the home that includes finishes like fine millwork, multiple fireplaces and custom builtins. Both levels feature wood decks.
The sleek, eat-in kitchen is flanked by windows and accented by stone and herringbone-patterned tile finishes. Revolving around an island with an integrated cooktop, the kitchen offers ample counter space, task lighting beneath the cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.
Built in 1905, the home features an easy floor plan and an elegant formal dining room with a leaded glass built-in cabinet. The updated kitchen extends into a large family room which opens to the fantastic deck and gardens, perfect for indoor/outdoor living.
In addition to floor-to-ceiling shelving, the carpeted family room includes a built-in office area and access to a rear deck.
Like the living room, the primary suite enjoys a fireplace that lends romantic ambiance to the room. Sunlight pours through windows on multiple sides, and the suite includes both a sitting area and access to a private deck. The adjoining spa bathroom comes with a soaking tub and a walk-in shower with a built-in bench. There’s also a large walk-in closet and the suite connects to a home office with custom-built desk and storage.
Two additional bedrooms and two remodeled bathrooms round out the upper level of the Piedmont home.
The deck off the family room is perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the deck attached to the primary suite provides a tranquil, idyllic retreat for the owners.
Just blocks from schools, parks, transportation, and Mulberry’s Market, this custom centennial home is a wonderful opportunity for central Piedmont living.
