Piedmont, California
A considered next chapter for a 1917 residence — original warmth, renewed systems, and a more connected way of living.
The residence at a glance
Held by one family for more than sixty years, and brought forward for the next.
The promise of the home
Legacy
For over sixty years, 362 Magnolia Avenue was held by one family and carefully maintained. Its renewal began with a simple idea: bring the home forward without erasing the character that made it worth preserving. The result still feels grounded in its history, but refined for the way life is lived today.
Design
Luxury here is not a single statement feature. It is the continuity of the choices — hand-selected stone and tile, carefully considered countertops, Rejuvenation lighting, warm wood flooring, refined hardware, and a restrained palette that lets every material work together. Nothing competes for attention.
Space to Gather
At the center of the home, the kitchen brings together upgraded cabinetry, premium SKS appliances, and thoughtfully selected surfaces. Its relationship to the dining area and the deck creates a natural rhythm between cooking, gathering, and entertaining — more open, without losing its sense of intimacy.
Substance
The work reaches well past what can be seen. A new roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical bring the home's infrastructure forward, while drainage and sewer improvements provide confidence behind the walls. Fresh paint inside and out, renewed flooring, and updated landscaping and irrigation complete it.

The setting
From Magnolia Avenue, Piedmont's schools, civic center, park, and new year-round Community Pool are all a few blocks away — and the wider Bay Area stays comfortably within reach.
About fifteen acres at the geographic center of the city: open lawns, play areas, tennis courts, wooded paths along Bushy Dell Creek, and the Community Hall at Exedra Plaza.
Piedmont's entirely new year-round aquatics center opened in April 2026 — a twelve-lane competition pool, a warm-water activity pool with zero-depth entry, lesson and fitness programming, and a rooftop pavilion.
Wildwood Elementary on Wildwood Avenue, Piedmont Middle at 740 Magnolia, and Piedmont High at 800 Magnolia all sit within a few blocks, along the same corridor as the city's civic buildings.
The Grand Avenue, Lakeshore, and Piedmont Avenue shopping and dining districts are close at hand, and AC Transit Line P runs weekdays from the Highland Avenue corridor to San Francisco's Salesforce Transit Center.
