About This Home
Positioned at the gateway to Leona Heights in the Oakland Hills, this updated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a canyon-adjacent lifestyle without the typical hills commute. Designed for the modern professional, the layout features engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main level and abundant natural light.

Meticulously maintained with a newer roof, central air conditioning, and fully owned solar panels paired with a home battery backup system. The integrated EV charging station ensures readiness for today's Bay Area lifestyle. Minutes from Highway 580, BART, and Montclair Village, with boutique shopping, gourmet dining, and a weekly farmers' market. The Laurel District, Leona Canyon Regional Open Space Preserve, and Redwood Regional Park are all within easy reach. The ultimate low-maintenance, high-access retreat, canyon tranquility with seamless connectivity to Oakland and the East Bay's most desirable amenities. The terraced backyard is nothing short of extraordinary, a curated, edible landscape.
