Welcome to 1677 Grand Avenue in Piedmont. The charm begins at the covered porch with a broad, multi-lite, beveled-glass front door. Once inside, warm woodwork frames leafy vistas, evoking a sense of calm. The living room's vintage tile fireplace is flanked by built-in cabinetry with a large mantle spanning the top for symmetry and style. More period details are found in the spacious dining room. The renovated kitchen features beautiful soapstone countertops, new cabinetry, a versatile mobile island, and an eat-in area set into a sunny alcove. Completing this floor are three lovely bedrooms and one full bath. The lower level offers a fourth bedroom, renovated full bath, laundry, and ample bonus space to spread out for work or play. A fantastic surprise awaits in the large backyard oasis. A stone patio just off the kitchen is ideal for dining al fresco and leads to a large grassy lawn. Prolific fruit trees, graceful Japanese Maples, and an upper patio nestled in the trees make for a wonderful place to gather or relax. While sited in the small City of Piedmont with its top-rated schools, tree-lined streets, and responsive city services, this home is also a short stroll to the vibrant culture of Oakland with its award-winning dining, shops, art, and regional parks. Come take a look!
