Exquistely remodeled mid-century

Tucked away in the heart of Piedmont, 345 La Salle is a reimagined mid-century modern ranch that masterfully fuses indoor-outdoor living with contemporary sophistication. Designed for effortless elegance, this cosmopolitan residence spans mostly one level, offering four en-suite bedrooms, a stylish bonus room with a full bath, and a chic powder room.

Step through the striking mahogany entry door into a formal foyer that unfolds into a breathtaking great room. The living area captivates with vaulted ceilings, skylights,  floor-to-ceiling wainscoting, a striking tiled fireplace, and accordion glass doors that open to an entertainer’s dream backyard. The kitchen dazzles with white oak cabinetry, marble countertops, and top-end applicances. The outdoor oasis is a natural extension of the home’s living space, featuring an expansive deck, a built-in grilling station with sink, a fire pit, and a vine-covered dining arbor—perfect for al fresco gatherings.

The thoughtfully designed left wing houses a sleek powder room, a spacious laundry area, and garage access, leading to the primary retreat. This serene sanctuary boasts a grand bedroom with its own set of accordion glass doors opening to the lush garden, while the spa-inspired ensuite bath invites relaxation with luxurious finishes. Located just minutes from Piedmont’s top-rated K-12 schools, charming shops, and fine dining, this home also offers excellent commuter access.
