Set on a nearly level quarter-acre in the heart of Piedmont Pines, this extraordinary property offers a rare interplay of architectural elegance and immersive natural beauty. At once deeply soulful and meticulously modernized, the residence is nestled within a garden so thoughtfully cultivated it was certified by the National Wildlife Federation as an official Wildlife Habitat in 2018. Here, the landscape is not merely decorative—it is alive, purposeful, and deeply integrated with the rhythms of the home.
 
Towering oaks and sculptural manzanitas provide a dappled canopy over native shrubs, wild grasses, and brilliant orange poppies that bloom in seasonal bursts. At the garden’s edge, a custom-designed chicken coop blends whimsy with utility, allowing for a pastoral lifestyle that feels worlds away—yet only minutes from Montclair Village. Terraced planting beds are ready for heirloom vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, or cutting flowers, and a broad, level lawn - a field that invites everything from summer picnics to volleyball and soccer. The outdoor experience is both curated and effortless—an intentional ecosystem designed to nourish and inspire.
 
Anchoring this verdant sanctuary is a gracious level-in Traditional home, extensively renovated with an eye toward sustainability, comfort, and enduring style. Every system has been thoughtfully upgraded—dual-pane windows for quiet and energy efficiency, solar panels to offset usage, an EV charger for forward-thinking convenience, and a combination of recycled denim insulation, closed-cell foam, and attic fans to enhance year-round climate control. 
 
Beyond its thoughtful infrastructure, the home offers a versatile layout with spaces easily adapted for a home office, nursery, guest quarters, or a private downstairs suite—an ideal blend of function, flexibility, and timeless design.
 
This is a home that lives lightly on the land, while offering every modern comfort. A rare synthesis of California landscape and architectural refinement, it invites a lifestyle of beauty, intention, and connection—both to nature and to the people who gather within its walls.
