857 Paramount is the kind of address that draws people from across the Bay and beyond, and if you've spent any time in Crocker Highlands, chances are you already know this special home. This stately 1925 red brick Colonial with its symmetrical facade, classic dormers, and columned entry has been cherished by the same family for over thirty years. A lush succulent garden frames the front, setting a warm and memorable tone upon arrival. Inside, a welcoming foyer and elegant staircase open into expansive formal living and dining rooms filled with natural light and timeless character. A main-level bedroom with nearby full bath and exterior access, creates an ideal guest or in-law setup. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a richly appointed study with a wood-burning fireplace, stunning millwork, and extraordinary character. The parcel is remarkably flat, deep, and generous for the neighborhood, flowing seamlessly from the living spaces into a private retreat-like backyard. A detached garage anchors the rear, while the expansive attic and lower level offer exceptional potential for development. One block to award-winning Crocker Elementary and moments to Lakeshore shops and restaurants. First time on the market in thirty years.
