310 Hillside Ave

Set on the storied grounds of a former convent, this remarkable residence seamlessly blends heritage, craftsmanship, and nature. Reimagined as a serene retreat, it offers the tranquility of country living while perfectly positioned in the heart of Piedmont. The sun-drenched grounds provide wonderful seclusion and privacy. Sited at the rear of a nearly 13,000 sf parcel, the detached garage serves as a charming gatehouse. This design creates a courtyard-like oasis, with a winding flagstone path leading through lush landscaping to a trellised entry, gracefully connecting the indoors and outdoors. Refined natural materials, including slate roofing, Douglas fir eaves, copper gutters, and reclaimed Portland cobblestones, define this residence. California river rock garden walls anchor the design; soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and French doors invite natural light, offering sweeping garden views. Artisan details, such as vertical-grain Douglas fir wainscoting and leaded glass windows, enhance the historic charm. Environmental enhancements ensure modern comfort and sustainability, beautifully integrating with the home’s historic charm and contemporary amenities. Proximity to Piedmont’s premier public schools and services makes this a very special offering.
