More Information:

A simplified “Not So Big” lifestyle in the community San Francisco magazine considers tops for kids in the area (October, 2005 issue). Live in the charming and woodwork-filled 2++ bedroom/1 bath home, and rent out the very rare legal lower 1+/1 unit ($1,400/mo). Later, turn the unit over to the teenagers, visiting friends, an additional generation, or office space. Use your savings for other things. Enjoy Piedmont’s famous 4th of July parade and small-town feel—neighborhood block-party invitation included!

Huge windows let in the light and woodsy views. Most Piedmont homes face each other on small lots. Here, you barely notice your neighbors as the borrowed view to the north includes 300 acres of open space, great for jogs and on-leash dog walks.

Extensive garden is ready to produce. The rear garden includes beautiful oaks, multiple patios and decks, a studio space or workshop, and room for raised beds. Win prizes at the annual Piedmont Harvest Festival in September!

Piedmont schools at an Oakland price. Piedmont’s schools score near the top of the state Academic Performance Index. And they’re just a flat and easy seven-minute walk away. Accompany younger students a block down to the nearby light and cross walk at Highland Avenue, and they’re on their way!

Worry-free living. With new paint and refinished hardwood floors, and newer electric, plumbing, hot water heater, roof, and window upgrades, relax and put the garden and decks to good use. One-year home warranty included!

Quick commutes so more time for the good life. Express buses to SF stop three blocks away, casual carpool is six blocks away. Reverse commute to Berkeley and Emeryville, quick access to the Caldecott Tunnel
