Welcome to the Wisteria House

Tucked behind a handcrafted redwood pergola and draped in the beauty of a 60+ year-old wisteria vine, this beloved 1909 home invites you in with a rare blend of history and thoughtful modern upgrades. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over three decades, this level-in home tells a story—of gatherings by the gas fireplace, holidays spent cooking in the chef’s kitchen and garden conversations with neighbors passing by.  Renovated in 2020 with deep respect for its character, it retains its original hardwood floors, French doors, and built-in bookcases, while embracing modern luxury: radiant heat, Marvin windows, custom Crystal cabinetry, and premium appliances including a Fulgor Milano range and Miele dishwasher.

The main level glows with natural light. Enjoy a cozy breakfast nook with custom built-in bench, a bright home office, and a sunny flex room that easily transforms into a studio, playroom, or reading retreat. French doors off the dining room open to an expansive deck—perfect for coffee at sunrise or wine at sunset. Downstairs, you’ll find three en-suite bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room; one suite with has a separate entrance and kitchenette - ideal for guests, in-laws, or an au pair. Two soaking tubs, a dressing room, and generous closets elevate daily routines into rituals of comfort. 2 sunny outdoor areas feature mature Japanese maples, established fruiting trees, and raised beds, ready for your green thumb.
 
Just blocks from Piedmont Avenue’s vibrant shops and eateries, with a 91 Walk Score and easy 580 access, this is more than a home; its a place to plant roots and make memories.
