Property Description
Built in 1926, for Albert & Mary Helen Dermont, a teacher & a stenographer, in a neighborhood referred to as Berkeley Woods, 541 Vistamont Ave was actually the first home built on Vistamont. The home was designed to be a "country home" and was clad in unpainted redwood board & batten siding. In the early 2000's a shingled addition was built, adding a primary bedroom suite, a stunning breakfast rm w/ walls of windows, two plus rooms, & an office. In 2007, the lower level was further developed. At that time, a bedroom & bath, a 2nd office, & a laundry rm were created. The home beautifully blends a classic & rustic ambiance, & evokes the feeling of being in a country inn, w/ its broad front porch, gracious public rms, & verdant surroundings. The addition, though contemporary in feel, echoes the style & character of the original home. As you approach the home, you are struck by how private it is, screened from the street by a gate, a fence, & greenery. When you step inside the gate, the porch & sprawling yard, w/ a greenhouse, a playhouse, an arbor w/ a seating area, raised beds, apple trees, maples, & oak trees welcome you. Views of Tilden provide a lovely backdrop. This is a paradise for everyone, especially those wishing to enjoy urban amenities w/out sacrificing land & privacy.
