Property Description
An Architectural Legacy. Located on one of Piedmont's most sought-after streets, this iconic home was designed by renowned architects Benjamin McDougal and J. Martyn Haenke in 1928., Haenke, along with architects William Dodd, and Julia Morgan, designed the famous Los Angeles estate known now as The Dorothy Chandler Estate. McDougal, known for his work on the Flat Iron Building in Downtown Oakland (sometimes called the Cathedral Building or the Wedding Cake Building), was celebrated for blending grandeur with intimacy—qualities that are clearly reflected in this exceptional residence. Behind a private driveway, past soaring embassy-like columns and rolling, regal frontage, awaits a home of storybook proportions and cinematic grace. Generous public rooms spill effortlessly, one into another, designed with intention and warmth—a symphony of space made for laughter, music, and celebration, marrying livability with elegance. The property offers a true California lifestyle with a swimming pool, sunlit patios, and fluid, private indoor-outdoor spaces. It's well-suited for hosting everything from large gatherings to quiet evenings outdoors. A legacy gem!
