Former Cal Hoops Coach Cuonzo Martin Looks to Pass Piedmont Home

Cuonzo Martin, the former Cal basketball coach, is dribbling away from his home in pricey Piedmont, CA. The 4,123-square-foot residence is listed for $2.5 million. Teresa Baum of Pacific Union represents the listing.

The home, located in an exclusive enclave that is surrounded by the larger city of Oakland, was purchased by the coach for $2.5 million in 2014.

That’s the same year the 45-year-old Illinois native secured his position as boss of the hoops squad at University of California, Berkeley.

While Martin has had his share of wins and losses, this East Bay home is clearly a W. The “spacious Mediterranean” has been through “exceptional renovations inside and out” along with “many upgrades” since the last sale, according to the listing.

The four-bedroom, 3.5-bath property boasts an expansive floor plan with vaulted ceilings in the main public rooms. The chef’s kitchen opens to a family room.

There’s also an elevator and a game room. The master suite includes a seating area and spacious walk-in closet.

The dining room and backyard patio could easily seat a full basketball team. However, it won’t be hosted by the wandering coach. Martin returned to his Midwest roots as the head coach of the University of Missouri Tigers. He finished his three-year stint in Berkeley with a record of 62-39 and two postseason appearances.
