It is said the key to happiness is to spend money on experiences, not things. But what if a home isn’t just a thing? Indeed, it’s one of life’s greatest experiences! A place where everyday adventures unfold. A house isn’t just a possession or a place to live; it’s your home base - the launching pad for any experience and the place you return to after adventures great or small. Owned by the same family for nearly 40 years, this is a house that has been the backdrop for a lifetime of experiences, now lasting memories: first steps, birthdays, sleepovers, lively debates, and many an al fresco dinner party.

This house is a sunny day, with ceilings painted blue like the sky. Spacious and light. Wood floors throughout. Fantastic built-in bookshelf is your own private library with room for all your books and tchotchkes. The primary bedroom with its cozy window seat is a passport to wherever your book takes you, near or far. The second bedroom’s built-in desk might just elevate homework to a journey-exploring faraway places, even if only in the imagination.

The big, bright kitchen is perfectly positioned for backyard explorers-whether they are discovering bumblebees or basil - opening onto both a sunny side yard and a shaded backyard in the company of a majestic redwood. A true backyard sanctuary!

Large, detached two-car garage is a versatile bonus with plenty of space and potential. Just a block behind Piedmont Avenue, this home is close to all the best shops, cafes, bookstores, and everything that makes Piedmont Ave so special.

This is a house for adventurers and homebodies. Whether your trek is around the block or around the world, this is a house to come home to.
