Timeless Piedmont Pines Tudor

Nestled in the heart of Piedmont Pines, this timeless 1937 Tudor boasts a rich history as the first home built in the neighborhood. Crafted with care for the seller's great-grandfather, this residence blends classic charm with generous space.

The private front patio, tucked away from the street, greets your guests as they head to the front door. Once inside, you’ll discover a thoughtfully designed home with tons of flexibility to meet everyone’s needs. The elegant living room boasts a beamed ceiling and stone fireplace with built-in cabinet, creating a warm and sophisticated ambiance. Enjoy verdant views from the formal dining room with plenty of space for your holiday gatherings. The adjoining kitchen has been updated with stone counters, stainless appliances including a gas cooktop and built-in bench seating.

The main floor has a convenient bedroom and remodeled bathroom.  Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms including a spacious primary that features an adjoining sunroom. The owner’s grandfather designed this area as a studio where his wife could paint, while gazing at the canyon for inspiration.  If you aren’t a painter, this extra space is perfect for lounging, enjoying morning coffee, or creating a cozy reading nook.  The upstairs bath has been tastefully refreshed with new tile and a vanity with double sinks.

As the family expanded, the lower level was added in 1939. The nautical themed bedroom was designed for the seller’s grandfather along with a family room, full bath and bonus room with closet. The lower level has a separate entrance which makes it ideal for hosting guests, extended family, or an au pair.  

The outdoor space is a true highlight, offering a serene retreat. The backyard, with access from both the lower level and the kitchen, features a lawn, planting bed and room to create your own urban farm, play area or garden. The rear of the property merges with open space and at the bottom is the Sausal Creek. Entrance to the public walking trail that runs beside it is just a block away.

This home is more than just a residence; it's a piece of Montclair's history ready for new memories. With a convenient location close to the Montclair Village’s shops, restaurants, public library and recreational facilities as well as miles of hiking and biking trails in the East Bay Regional Parks, everything for an active lifestyle is at your fingertips.
