1911 Piedmont mansion asks $6.68M

What could go upward of $20 million-plus along San Francisco’s BIllionaire’s Row or down in Palo Alto seems like a steal in Piedmont—this circa-1911 stunner asking $6.68 million.

Featuring eight bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, and 8,655 square feet, 320 El Cerrito Avenue comes with details aplenty, including an iron and glass front door; a living room with tall leaded-glass windows, coffered ceiling, and a limestone fireplace; and a dining room with a hand-painted ceiling, wall coverings, and a marble fireplace.

There’s also a solarium with a tiled fountain, a stenciled ceiling, and leaded-glass skylights.

Spread out across three floors, the home offers a third-floor a kitchenette and attic space that learn toward contemporary. Other highlights include a detached guest house with fireplace and kitchen, as well as two epic gardens in front and back.

On a historic note: “The property was originally built in 1911 for William and Florence Barnard. William was a grain broker and the couple moved in with their four children and a servant, according to Gail Lombardi of the Piedmont Historical Society,” reports SFGate.

Years later the house belonged to H.M. Storey—the California director of Standard Oil, who also had a tanker named after, which was attacked during World War II—and to Horace O. Lanza, who made wine during the Prohibition era.
