Nestled between Piedmont and Montclair, this architect-designed home rests on a quiet hillside street surrounded by nature. Created by architectural engineers Bob and Mary Hart as their own residence, it offers three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and inviting indoor-outdoor living.

Enter from a wood deck and brick patio past lemon trees into a foyer that opens in all directions to the home’s main living areas. To one side, the spacious dining room is framed by windows on three sides; to the other, the 378-square-foot living room features floor-to-ceiling windows, a brick-surround wood-burning fireplace, and access to the sunny deck beyond. The newly remodeled kitchen includes quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and modern finishes, while a bright home office offers direct access to a rear garden deck.

Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys a remodeled spa-like bathroom, walk-in closet, and views on two sides. Two additional bedrooms share a renovated bathroom. A striking architectural balcony overlooks the living room below, showcasing the home’s open-concept design. Parking is ample with a two-car garage, driveway, and motor court. Ideally located with quick access to Highway 13 and an easy San Francisco commute.
