Set on a generous ¼-acre parcel, 55 Fairview Avenue is a light-filled home with gracious proportions and an exceptional garden. There is an easy elegance throughout, with a relaxed Mediterranean feel that carries from the architecture to the outdoor spaces. Inside, soaring coved ceilings give the living room a beautiful sense of scale. A fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and two large picture windows give the room warmth and character, with abundant natural light and views of the surrounding greenery. The formal dining room opens directly to the rear patio, creating an effortless connection to the garden, while an arched doorway leads to the updated kitchen with Quartzite counters, stainless-steel appliances, and peaceful views of the rear gardens. Just beyond the dining room is a bright and comfortable family room; an easy space for movie nights or simply relaxing at the end of the day. A cheerful bedroom and full bath complete the main level, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or convenient single-level living. Upstairs has three bedrooms overlooking the mature trees and gardens. The updated bath features a double-sink vanity and a generous tiled shower. The backyard is one of the home's defining features. Arranged across three levels, the garden offers distinct spaces for entertaining, gardening, play, and relaxation. The upper patio includes plenty of room for outdoor dining and lounging, and a pergola draped in blooming bougainvillea. A second expansive garden terrace sits just below, along with two large planting beds ready for vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Beyond is a play area shaded by mature redwoods and a beautiful live oak, giving the property a wonderful sense of privacy and space. The oversized garage offers unusual versatility. With high ceilings and direct access to the patio, this space offers an additional 398 sqft, and is perfect as an office, gym or teen space. A bonus full bath completes the garage. Ideally located near the shops, cafés, and restaurants of Lakeshore and Grand Avenues, with Piedmont schools and parks just blocks away, 55 Fairview Avenue offers generous indoor and outdoor living in a wonderfully convenient location.

This Piedmont estate marries the soul of a Mediterranean villa with the pulse of modern technology. The residence balances intimate warmth with old-world grandeur. Every room tells a story of global treasure—from a 400-year-old fireplace surround to custom ceilings, Honduran mahogany window frames, and masterful leaded glass. Yet the estate is thoroughly modern, powered by a Savant automation system, Lutron lighting, and backup generator. The home features double-framed walls for acoustic privacy and a seismic foundation of steel-reinforced concrete piers. The kitchen blends custom cabinetry with elite appliances. The primary suite features a vaulted vestibule, French marble fireplace, boutique closets, and heated marble floors. Four additional suites offer equally superior accommodations. Over 2000 square feet of terraces, inlaid with antique Italian tiles, lead to a 70-foot saltwater lap pool and a fireplace cabana. Nearly a mile of walking paths meander through a sanctuary of over 300 legacy oaks, redwoods, and palms, bordered by Indian Creek and sustained by a self-sufficient on-site well and automated irrigation system. Every architectural, horticultural, and structural decision reflects an artful vision. The result is a sublime harmony between house, garden, and nature.
