Some homes you show and forget. Others stay with you. 224 Mountain Avenue is the latter — a jewel box in Piedmont with interiors by Chloe Warner that the New York Times described as "Little Women on acid." Getting my buyers into this home was one of the most exciting transactions of my career.
Piedmont produces beautiful homes routinely. It's a city built around the premise that architecture and landscaping matter, and the market reflects that. But occasionally a property comes along that transcends the category — something that isn't just well-done, but genuinely singular. 224 Mountain Avenue was that property.
The exterior is restrained, as Piedmont often is. What you can't prepare for is the interior. Chloe Warner's design work here is layered, literary, and deeply personal — the kind of spaces that reward slow looking, where every surface has been considered and every color choice has a lineage.
"Little Women on acid" — the New York Times description is the most accurate thing anyone has said about this home. It captures exactly what Chloe Warner achieved: something deeply rooted in tradition and entirely unlike anything you've seen before.
Chloe Warner & The Interior
Warner, founder of Redmond Aldrich Design in San Francisco, is known for rooms that feel curated and alive — deeply referential without feeling costume-y. At 224 Mountain, she created something layered: botanical wallcoverings, rich upholstery, jewel-toned walls, a lacquered red ceiling, checkerboard floors, and unexpected color combinations that shouldn't work and absolutely do. Every room tells a different chapter of the same story.
This kind of design work doesn't just make a home beautiful — it makes it unforgettable. My buyers recognized immediately that this was something singular. The work was positioning them to win at $7.5 million against serious competition — and they did.
Piedmont & The Market
Piedmont's market consistently rewards decisive buyers with the right representation. In a city where homes move quickly and competition is fierce, getting your buyers into a property like this — at $7.5 million, against multiple offers — requires knowing the market, knowing the sellers, and knowing how to structure an offer that wins without overpaying.
Thinking About Buying in Piedmont?
The highest sale in Piedmont this year closed before the public ever saw the property.
