A Piedmont, Calif. mansion — designed by the architect who originally envisioned the San Francisco department store that is now Nieman Marcus in Union Square — has been listed for $6.495 million.
The home was the work of noted Berkeley architect Clinton Day, who in 1896 drew up plans for the “City of Paris” department store. His rotunda with the stained-glass ship scene canopy is still admired today by visitors and diners of The Rotunda restaurant at Nieman Marcus.
The 7,297-square-foot home has its own wow factor: Upon entry, a two-story circular foyer leads to an expansive living room and dining room, which both open to the back terrace and lush gardens.
A grand staircase leads to five bedrooms; the home also features a modern kitchen, a sauna and a wine cellar, among many other amenities.
Matthew Heafey and Teresa Baum with Compass hold the listing.
Day designed many notable Bay Area structures, including the Union Trust building and the former Gump’s department store in San Francisco. He also is credited for designing buildings on the UC Berkeley and Stanford University campuses.
