575 Blair Ave., Piedmont, CA 94611

Perched on one of Piedmont’s most coveted streets, 575 Blair offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of local history. Originally built as a carriage house and expanded over time, this 3+ bedroom brown shingle home is rich with character—reportedly even hosting Jack London during the writing of The Call of the Wild. Step up through the enchanting English cottage garden and into a home where timeless architectural details meet thoughtful updates. Natural light pours in through double doors that open to a private patio, creating a warm, inviting flow throughout the main living spaces. Hardwood floors anchor the dining area, which connects to a charming kitchen, while a tucked-away guest suite with an updated bath offers comfort and flexibility on the main level. Upstairs, newly refinished hardwood floors lead to the home’s true showpiece: an expansive living room with soaring ceilings, a fireplace, and a wall of windows framing the lush rear garden. It’s a space equally suited for lively gatherings or quiet afternoons with a book. Two additional bedrooms, an updated bath, and a serene home office or library with garden views complete this level. Lovingly maintained and full of charm, the home offers an elegant backdrop with room for a new owner to bring their own vision and modern touches to life. Outside, romantic gardens unfold into a series of patios and tucked-away seating areas, creating a private retreat just moments from Piedmont’s top-rated schools, beloved parks, and the new aquatic center.
