About This Home

>>TO SCHEDULE A TOUR: Located on an oak-studded hillside bordering Piedmont, this updated modern home offers a peaceful retreat with lovely garden spaces perfect for entertaining, and it's just a short 20-minute walk from the shops and restaurants of Montclair Village and Montclair Park. Additionally, a charming 20-minute neighborhood walk in another direction leads you to Piedmont Park. The expansive open-concept main floor flows effortlessly from the generous living room and dining area into a custom architect-designed kitchen, remodeled in 2019. Highlights of this space include custom cabinetry, beautiful marble surfaces, a 36” Bertazzoni range, and a wall of windows overlooking the spacious deck complete with an outdoor kitchen – an ideal setup for hosting guests. An office and half bathroom are also located on this level. Upstairs, you'll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, two designer bathrooms, and laundry facilities. The large primary suite provides a relaxing sanctuary with a sitting area overlooking the garden and a private en-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub. The third spacious bedroom, along with high-end wine storage and an oversized two-car garage, is situated on the level below the main floor. This home enjoys a convenient location near several parks and offers easy access for commuters, being centrally located between Upper Rockridge, Piedmont, and Montclair. Recent upgrades include a newer furnace (2019), AC (2021), tankless water heater (2022), and a new 200 amp panel with a Tesla charger (2019). Access to Montclair Elementary, the best elementary school in Oakland, adds further appeal for families.
