This exceptional Piedmont compound, part of the historic Walsh estate, sits on nearly a third of an acre and offers rare scale, privacy, and timeless elegance in one of the city’s most treasured neighborhoods. Lush, landscaped grounds, mature fruit trees, and a breathtaking 100-year-old vine-covered pergola frame a level lawn — an extraordinary backdrop for refined entertaining and relaxed California living. When the wisteria and tea roses bloom together each spring and hummingbirds dart between lemon, apple and peach blossoms, the setting feels almost transportive.
The updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath main residence blends architectural character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Each bedroom enjoys its own en-suite bath, including a serene primary retreat with a fully renovated spa-like bath wrapped in honed marble tile. A convenient main floor suite with level-in entry from the rear patio provides flexibility for guests and multi-generational living. Refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, and beautifully curated lighting create a cohesive sense of understated luxury throughout.

Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the expansive living room with gas fireplace opens to the enchanting pergola and enclosed lawn. The grand dining room extends to a sunlit stone patio, setting the stage for celebratory gatherings, holiday meals and al fresco dining. The updated kitchen shines with stone countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances, including a newly installed wall oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A sun-filled den invites cozy evenings, complete with a charming window seat, built-in shelving, and custom cabinetry — perfect for game nights or quiet reading.
The detached carriage house at 11 Olive Avenue expands the possibilities. The spacious two-bedroom apartment features an updated kitchen and bath, an office nook, and a generous private yard with ample room for gardening and play. Ideal for extended guests, multi-generational living, or consistent rental income, it offers exceptional flexibility. Below, a separate studio provides the perfect space for a home office, artist’s workshop, gym, or meeting space. Completing the compound is a rare 9-car redwood garage with its original service pit — an extraordinary amenity for collectors, hobbyists, or those who simply appreciate abundant utility.
Over the years, the property has been carefully and extensively improved. Recent updates include interior and exterior paint of both structures, refinished hardwood floors, remodeled primary bath (with permits), updated lighting, new landscaping with sod and automatic irrigation, sewer lateral replacement, electrical upgrades including removal of knob-and-tube wiring, new carpeting in the apartment, and more. Major system upgrades over time include roof replacements, copper plumbing, furnace, air conditioning, tankless water heater, and a gas fireplace — providing both beauty and peace of mind.
Just one block from Morcom Rose Garden and two blocks from Beach Elementary School, this exceptional location places you moments from the shops, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites along Piedmont Avenue — including the iconic Fentons Creamery. Recreational amenities, including pickleball courts, a playfield, and a dog park, are just down the street, enhancing the neighborhood’s vibrant community feel. Commuters will appreciate the nearby AC Transit Transbay express bus to San Francisco at Oakland Avenue and I-580 close by, offering convenient access to the city and beyond.
A legacy property of uncommon scale and versatility — ready for its next remarkable chapter.
