piedmont pines retreat

Secluded in tranquil Piedmont Pines, 6555 Longwalk Drive is a one-of-a-kind home, crafted in 1975 by an industrial engineer, Jim Lee, a longtime member of the Eames Studio and a designer on the iconic Eames chair. This spectacular tree-house retreat offers 2 beds, 1 bath, and an open, light-filled floor plan with soaring vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between indoors and nature.

The hand-built Awahnee inspired staircase and unique architectural details add character that is hard to find these days. A cozy loft with a fireplace and plenty of indoor/outdoor living provided by multiple barn and French doors creates the perfect spot for reflection and relaxation. With easy access to nearby Redwood Regional Park just 250 meters away and minutes from Montclair Village and Highway 13, 6555 Longwalk is ideally located for easy access to many parts of the Bay while ensuring you can escape to your tree-top sanctuary at the end of the day and relax with friends and family on the weekends.

Neighborhood

Piedmont Pines is a small, affluent neighborhood located in Oakland, where the median household income is just over $1 million. The largely residential neighborhood of 4,625 residents is occupied by more homeowners than renters. Many homeowners are retirees. The three schools located in Piedmont Pines are Child's Play School, Joaquin Miller Elementary School, and Montera Middle School.

Many consider Piedmont Pines to be a part of the larger Montclair district. Most people take a short drive into Montclair for day-to-day errands to grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants.

Local eats are situated just on the outskirts of the neighborhood. These include restaurants such as Italian Colors, D.Monaghan's Oakland, Pattys & Buns Burgers, and Highwire Coffee Roasters. Nearby attractions include Chabot Space & Science Center and Montclair Golf.
Continue down Skyline Boulevard and onto Manzanita Drive where The Hills Swim & Tennis Club awaits. The members-only fitness club offers group fitness classes, Pilates, a large pool, and scenic views of Mt. Diablo.

Piedmont Pines is largely a quiet neighborhood surrounded by redwood forests and grasslands (offering plenty of privacy to its residents). It is admired by many for its slow pace away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
