My Piedmont and Oakland Real Estate Adventures. History, Architecture and Homes

This 6 bedroom, 4 1/2 bath home at 311 Saint James Drive reflects a distinctive era in Piedmont's history.  In the 1920's, classic showplace homes were being built to reflect a Mediterranean lifestyle. Offering dramatic entryways, handsome light filled rooms, beamed ceilings, tile flooring, and indoor/outdoor living, these homes were, and most certainly still are, the height of gracious living.

Since entertaining is always an important element is this gracious living concept, this home offers a warmly welcoming front room with a handsome fireplace, and a formal dining room for special dining events.

The one dramatic change from this traditional style of living is the updated kitchen.  Bright, open, airy and functional, it should please any creative chef.  

If eating outside is your pleasure, a pleasing backyard offers room to enjoy its beauty.

Moving upstairs, one will find four bedrooms and some classically designed bathrooms.  

The home's bathrooms reflect a cross between the classic Mediterranean tile concept, and bright, open living.  Two examples below show their appeal.  

This home at 311 Saint James, is super spacious 4549 sq. ft., and is priced at $2,395,000. In addition to the views above, it has au-pair quarters and a spacious rumpus room downstairs. I look forward to sharing further information and details with you.
