About This Home

As of October 2024

Charming Mid-century retreat with expansive Bay views! Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with classic design and modern comforts, this home's main level features hardwood floors, newer windows, and a living room with views of downtown Oakland. Updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and oversized breakfast bar. Two distinct eat-in kitchen spaces ensure versatile dining options, while the adjacent den, with its redwood ceilings and sliding glass door leading to the back deck, facilitates effortless indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite features an adjoining European-style wet room and direct access to the expansive redwood deck with sweeping Bay views. A large finished room on the lower level has fresh carpeting and an additional bathroom with shower stall. The attached two-car garage provides interior access and a laundry area. The yard is an outdoor oasis with professional landscaping in front, and in back a peaceful pond encircled by lush garden beds with a variety of fruit-bearing plants. Modern amenities such as owned solar panels and air conditioning ensure energy efficiency and year-round comfort, while a newer concrete pathway along the right side of the home provides a level entry to the backyard and interior of the home.
