Just 3 blocks from all Piedmont Ave. offers, 4115 Gilbert St. also delivers on timeless upgrades & high design. A 2021 renovation made this house anew, with open-plan updating, while keeping the original Neoclassical charm. Perched above the street is a classic front porch -- feel free to wave to the folks passing by. A sunny front door leads to the open-style flow through the living & dining rooms. Overlooking the intensively (and drought tolerant) landscaped yard, is an updated chef's kitchen. Dual French doors bathe the space in light, leading out to an Ipe-wood and steel deck. Your friends will love hanging out at the bar seats near the wine fridge, while you take care of business on the stainless-steel Café gas stove/dual oven. The main level provides 2 bedrooms (or 1 and a home office?), a spacious full bathroom wrapped in tile, and an elegant powder room at the entry. The ground-floor level is a primary bedroom en suite retreat that spreads across the width of the home, and leads to the rear yard. Here, you also get a 4th bedroom, a hall bath, a geometrically tiled laundry/workroom, storage, and a interior-access garage (plus A/C, solar panels, and a car charger). The separation of space is exceptional. Near MacArthur BART, Temescal, Rockridge, Uptown and so much more.
