Rare historic home in central Piedmont with stellar Bay and Golden Gate views! Nearly every room in the home, including the luxurious master suite, affords sunny Bay views--watch ships move in and out of the Golden Gate; relax by a fire or in the Oval Room glancing up to see the constantly changing play of light and air over the Bay. Built by two artist sisters, the home was originally part of a family compound. The large yards remain open, offering long nightlines and a sense of great spaciousness. The Great Room was the original artist studio, and still includes a large north-facing sky-wall and -light, now double-paned and metal-framed.The home's layout is very flexible, with two home offices, and three living rooms--one of which can easily convert to a guest suite or au pair. The home is officially 4 bedrooms and 4 baths in 4267 sf on a huge 7300+ sf lot. Meticulously maintained over the years, with recent pre-paid solar; seismic, energy and water-efficient upgrades.
