25 Mesa Ave., Piedmont
Renovate this 1913 home in the perfect Golden Rectangle location, and enjoy the results for the next generation!
Built with yesteryear’s attention to detail, this gracious 4 bedroom/3.5 bath home offers spacious public rooms, a spacious lot, a flat and quiet street, and the handcrafted charm you’d expect: built-ins, hardwood floors, fireplaces in the living, dining and master, and bonus rooms. Larger flat lot is perfect for your gardening plans. Just a short stroll to Piedmont’s excellent schools and after-care, and a three- minute drive to Piedmont Avenue’s theater, restaurants and cafes, this location is perfect for those who yearn to connect. 4th of July block party included . . . .
The short commutes mean more time for the good life!
- Fabulous architectural details at every turn;
- City/Bay/Tam views from upper rooms;
- Great central Piedmont location near all schools;
- Effortless commute: casual carpool and express bus to SF (just 20 mins!) are a short stroll away; quick drive to Berkeley, Emeryville and the Tunnel;
- 4 bedrooms up, 3 1/2 baths, nearly 2800 sf plus rumpus, 25% lot coverage, 3 fireplaces, office, separate garage;
- Awaiting your cosmetic improvements!
25 Mesa Ave, Piedmont offers:
- Spacious, sunny rooms with handcrafted details throughout: Serve a dozen friends with grace and elbow room in the classic dining room; both it and the spacious living room offer comforting fireplaces. Each room sports coved ceilings, and see the light fixtures!
- Dozens of huge windows invite the famous East Bay sun—and a Bay view—in: Two bedrooms enjoy expansive views of the Oakland skyline, the Bay, and Mount Tamalpais.
- Bonus rooms for your flexible lifestyle: Need a home office? Guest room? Large workshop? Sewing room or crafts space? Playroom off the children’s room? This home has several bonus spaces to meet your needs. The walk–out rumpus (a former in-law suite) below adds to the home’s functionality.
- Lots of upside potential in this changing market: Cosmetic fixers represent great value. Most remodeling investments have a strong net positive return in the Bay Area (Remodeling magazine), and those returns go into your pocket. With interior paint, this home will be transformed; with a remodeled kitchen, it will shine! Plenty of inspections already are completed, so you can implement your renovation plans at your pace with peace of mind. Larger flat lot with camellias, lemons, espaliered apple tree and gorgeous persimmon is ready for your gardening or entertaining plans.
- Location: Shoot hoops or learn to ride a bike on this flat street in the Golden Rectangle area above Highland Ave. The location offers effortless access to schools, playgrounds, work, tennis, town pool, great restaurants, theater, and the GrandLake farmer’s market.
- Four bedrooms upstairs and the three and a half baths you need: Too frequently, cosmetic upgrades involve complicated variances and paperwork. This remarkable 1913 home comes with the bed/bath combo that meets your needs, plus two peek–a–boo en–suite sinks!
- Easy commutes, so more time for relaxing: Express buses/casual carpool to SF leave within a few blocks; easy drive to Oakland offices, BART, Berkeley, Emeryville and beyond.
