2 Littlewood Drive, Piedmont


A Stunning "Frank Lloyd Wright-esque" Home, circa 1955, in Upper Piedmont

2 Littlewood Drive, Piedmont

Offered at: $849,000
SOLD: $886,000

Designed by Wayne Littlejohn, with influences of Frank Lloyd Wright and Joseph Eichler, the house is layed out on a 120-degree grid, meaning that most of the walls meet at an angle of 120-degrees, as opposed to the 90-degrees found in most buildings. Another innovation is how the roof seemingly floats above the walls, with high windows and long beams that extend from interior to exterior. Spanning the beams are 2-by-4's, closely spaced on 4" centers providing a dramatic visual backdrop throughout the house.

The most notable aspect of this interplay of geometry, structure and light is the flow between interior and exterior space. The long wall of glass in the kitchen, dining and living rooms rests under a deep eave and connects visually to the rear patio, a very private space with beautiful plantings, built-in bench seating, grass and brick-inlaid concrete. The patio extends around the corner and over the garage, providing an abundance of outdoor environments. In addition, each bedroom has a sliding door to yet another private patio.

The kitchen was "state of the art" for its time, with fold-down burners for the stove and side-by-side wall ovens, all electric, of course. There is a center island. lots of drawer and cabinet space and a large closet with laundry hookups.Space-saving pocket doors are used throughout the interior. The bathroom has two separate vanity sinks, a roomy step-in shower stall and a separate room for the toilet. There is also a spacious two-car garage, with lots of room for extra storage.

Perhaps needless to say, the public schools in Piedmont are a big draw for families, and they, along with beautiful Piedmont Park, are just a short drive away down the hill. As for a nice walk, the Piedmont reservoir is just a few blocks away.
