21 Portsmouth Road, Piedmont
Tucked along a gently winding, leafy street with trees just starting to bloom, this historic home welcomes you with a mature Meyer lemon tree in the front garden. A solid wood door with beveled glass leads level-in to a gracious foyer, setting a warm, elegant tone.
Inside, vintage candelabra sconces and a chandelier, along with original spindled ceiling beams, add character throughout. The living room features a classic tile surround fireplace, while the dining room is anchored by a built-in buffet. The kitchen is efficient and inviting, including a mission-style breakfast nook with vaulted, beamed ceilings.
Three bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the main level, with Mediterranean tile, modern finishes, and refreshed lighting. Downstairs, flexible bonus spaces*, including a finished room with two closets, a utility room, a workshop, and generous storage, offer abundant potential.
A new rear landing and stairway lead to a private backyard retreat with camellias and climbing roses. Ideally located near Piedmont’s award-winning schools, Lakeshore Avenue, the Grand Lake Theatre, and Lake Merritt, this beloved home of over 50 years is ready for its next chapter.
*Buyer to verify use of space.
