45 Highland Ave

Set on a tree-lined street in the heart of Piedmont, this 1914 Colonial pairs original architectural character with a comprehensive top-to-bottom renovation completed by its current owners between 2011 and 2019; new systems, new roof, foundation with extensive seismic retrofitting, and a fully permitted ADU with it own separate address and private entrance, offering flexible space for extended family, guests, or rental income. A gracious foyer and central staircase set the tone, opening to formal living and dining rooms filled with natural light. Original details carry through the home including box-beamed ceilings, hand-detailed moldings, French doors, and gleaming hardwood floors, alongside sweeping Bay views that anchor several of the main rooms. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite, plus two sun-drenched rooms ideal for home offices or a study. A fully-primed attic offers room to expand. Outside, expansive landscaping transforms the large backyard into a true retreat, with custom stonework, mature gardens, and a generous rear deck creating easy indoor-outdoor living for everyday life or entertaining. A garage adds off-street parking and a workshop for hobbies or storage. Just blocks from Piedmont's top-rated K-12 public schools, Dracena and Exedra Parks, and Mulberry's Market, a rare opportunity in one of the East Bay's most established communities. Views: Downtown
