Built circa 1929 as a grand single family home, this character-filled Triplex offers vintage architectural features in 2 units and a stylish modern vibe in the 3rd. The largest of the 3 units is spread across 2 levels of the structure with a graciously sized living room & light-filled kitchen on its entry level and 3 well-appointed bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms upstairs. The living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom are all graced by expansive windows exhibiting impressively wooded neighborhood views. All 3 bedrooms are outfitted with myriad built-ins while the living room below has bookshelves & an exceptional fireplace with marble surround & carved mantle. Also on the main level, accessed via the original front porch entry and mahogany-paneled entryway, is a peaceful 1 bedroom retreat. One of 2 vintage tiled bathrooms is located here and, like its larger neighbor, enjoys the lofty ceiling heights of the period. Finally, the lower level 1 bedroom hideaway overlooks the shared, oversized ~950 square feet of sun-drenched deck & verdant garden space below. Like its larger upstairs neighbor, this unit benefits from views of the surrounding neighborhood beloved for its ancient live oak trees that grace 2 well-utilized parks, one with a creek gurgling through. This is the unit with the more modern finishes yet it still invokes an established sense of space. Piedmont Avenue's hip shops, divine eateries (one with a Michelin star!), and quality conveniences (check out Piedmont Grocery's butcher department and delicacies throughout!) are just blocks away while proximity to the GrandLake District, Lake Merritt, and the Uptown dining & entertainment district is a huge added plus! The property itself has been importantly updated during the current seller's ownership: 3 remodeled kitchens, 2 remodeled bathrooms, major foundation reinforcement, roof replacement, deck installation, concrete driveway replacement, and much more!
