This very engaging home is located in the Piedmont hills, and overlooks Moraga Canyon. It captures views of the area's beautiful seasonal changes, and sweeping hillside scenery.
Located at 104 Alta Avenue, it offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, in 1534 sf of living space.
One of the most remarkable transitions of this home has to be experienced when one moves from the charming and subtle exterior of the outdoor patio, to the truly remarkable living room seen above.
A marvelous peaked roof, composed of multiple matched wooden beams, towers over the perfectly placed brick fireplace, creating a cathedral like effect.
Two walls of virtual floor to ceiling windows capture the light from both sides of the space, and provide a view of the surrounding deck and colorful gardens.
The size of the room provides numerous potential configurations of furniture, and is ideal for entertaining-whether for a sunny Sunday afternoon luncheon. or a formal evening dinner.
Immediately adjacent to the living room, is this perfectly placed dining area that continues the home's design theme of providing expansive multi paned windows that will reveal the beauty of the surrounding scenery.
Just steps away is this well conceived kitchen that is especially efficient and effective for meal preparation. It has been upgraded to include stone counters, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors.
One of the best features of this kitchen is that it is perfectly placed between the dining room and the outdoor patio, allowing easy meal service to one's guests, no matter what the event.
A pleasant and decorative white wooden fence surrounds the home, and the corner of the front patio is an ideal place for a relaxing afternoon with friends, or an evening's contemplation while enjoying the beauty of the trees that surround it.
One of the many advantages of living in the Oakland and Piedmont hills is a very special Tahoe like atmosphere that is highly valued. One need not travel miles away to enjoy this serenity, as is seen above.
There are two bedrooms on the upper floor. The first, seen here, is large, and sets the color tones for the other nearby bedroom and bathroom that will be seen below.
The light grey walls combine especially well with the bright white room and window trim and the darker hardwood floors that will be seen throughout the home.
A special enhancement with this room is the floor to ceiling sliding glass door that opens out onto a private balcony set among the trees.
This personal balcony is a special delight to enjoy and experience.
A gleaming bathroom is just steps away, offering a lengthy counter, view windows, and shower.
A second bedroom on the top floor is as equally comfortable as the first bedroom seen above, and has exterior views, and room for a personal desk, if preferred.
There is a spacious and inviting primary bedroom on the home's lower level, and it is arranged in such a way that the available space can be conceived in a variety of configurations, depending on need and usage.
Seen here is the bedroom itself. A grand bed occupies the center space, with a soft chair opposite, and two large nightstands on either side. Worth noting is the open beamed ceiling overhead that continues the architectural theme of the home's living room above.
To the left is the sliding wooden door that opens up to an adjacent room. Its location is placed in such a way that it can divide the adjacent room from the primary bedroom when desired.
On the other side of the sliding door is this expansive space that is currently being used as a family room or sitting room, but could easily accommodate other uses as needed by the homeowner.
This very attractive primary bathroom has a full bath, large counter and view windows.
Another lower space has been converted into a home office, but, as with the seating room directly above, there are multiple options that can be considered for its ultimate use.
This innovative home is outstanding. It is well placed and well priced, and I encourage you to call me promptly regarding it at (510) 517-6280. It is being offered for sale for $1,295,000.
