12 Echo Ln, Piedmont, CA 94618

It's the simplest way to invite comparison to the coolest of retreats -- combine Mid Century Eichler-style with a treehouse setting and, voila -- 12 Echo Lane appears in the hills of Piedmont. Nestled amidst redwood trees at the end of a private cul-de-sac the location offers secluded serenity, yet is moments away from Moraga Avenue and convenient access to schools, parks, shopping districts and commute options. The strong indoor-outdoor focus of the home is easy to see as you enter through a new three-panel glass door. Built around an expansive interior garden courtyard, the rooms open up to light and greenery wherever possible. Recently updated, the three bedroom, two bath house lives large, in part due to the many windows that visually connect the interior with the outside. With white shiplap walls and and high beamed ceilings, the vacation vibe of the living room cannot be denied, and the expansive deck surrounded by redwood and oak trees acts as a natural extension of the home.
