1912 Piedmont Craftsman Has Glorious Details

PIEDMONT, CA -- In 1912, a prominent real estate investor chose noted East Bay architect Charles W. McCall to design this timeless 1912 Craftsman high in the heart of Piedmont for his bride.

McCall lavished the exterior with his signature elements: nesting shingled gables, distinctively notched exposed beams, curved brackets and bands of windows.

Breathtaking views of the Bay and San Francisco are everywhere. In the large formal dining room with its original built-in cabinets, French doors open to the partially enclosed front porch. More French doors in the nearby family room lead to a lushly landscaped back garden, stone patio and pool.

The handsomely redesigned kitchen/breakfast room also opens to this magical setting.

There are 2 master suites, both with Bay views; one of them looks out on the back garden as well. Two more bedrooms and one bath complete the upper level.

A long, curving pool surrounded by multilevel decks adjoins a brick patio with built-in barbecue and romantic dining.
