Palm Drive Perfection

You can tour a lot of houses, but only a few will feel like home. It comes down to the little things… the warmth of natural light, the flow of the living and entertaining spaces, the friendly vibe of the neighborhood, the backyard where everyone will want to gather, the quality of the finishes and the meticulous attention to even the smallest detail. If you’ve been waiting for “the one” that checks all the boxes, look no further than 125 Palm Drive.

Just blocks to Piedmont’s top-rated schools on a sought-after street where neighbors become friends and every home exudes pride of ownership is this stylishly updated Mediterranean with a contemporary flare.  A flagstone pathway guides you past olive trees and under the graceful archway to the front porch and welcoming foyer. Inlaid hardwood floors continue into the living room with a large picture window, fireplace flanked by additional windows, coved ceilings and recessed lighting. The adjoining dining room feels grand, easily accommodating the extension of your dining table for holiday guests. The focal point is the long chandelier that creates an elegant setting for your special event.

The chef’s kitchen has it all with generous cabinetry, a five-burner gas range, French door refrigerator, deep chef’s sink and Bosch dishwasher all within reach. The butcher-block center island provides additional storage including a wine fridge and is the perfect place to gather for a top-chef contest. The sunny breakfast nook is ideal for casual dining and opens to the rear yard for outdoor grilling and dining under the stars. Completing the main level is a powder room and the fourth bedroom for guests or use as a home office. A few steps down are the laundry facilities and the family room that also opens to the backyard; perfect for a play space, sleepovers or movie night.

Up a few steps from the main level are two sunny bedrooms and an updated bath with floating vanity and walk-in shower with skylight. A private and luxurious primary suite occupies its own level with a generous sitting room, dressing area and spa-like bath, easily within reach to the other bedrooms if a watchful eye is desired.

The scent of jasmine, roses and camellias fills the spring air of the manicured and level rear grounds accessed from the main and lower levels.  The expansive turf area is perfect for play, only outdone by the tiled patio with firepit for lounging and dining. Bougainvillea and hydrangeas grace the perimeter with seasonal color. 

A one-car garage with storage and interior access completes the residence.

The location is ideal.  Piedmont sports fields, community center, tennis courts, playground and off-leash dog trails are at your fingertips. The vibrant Grand Avenue and Lakeshore shopping districts, public transportation and freeway access are nearby for all your urban conveniences.  A walkscore of 71 (www.walkscore.com). Welcome home!
