The Crocker Highlands neighborhood in Oakland has always been the home of well designed and beautifully conceived homes. This home, located at 953 Grosvenor Place, is certainly one that represents that concept.
It offers a dramatic street presence, well established trees and gardens, and, inside, 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms in 2803 sf. of living space.
It is exceptionally well located, and is just minutes from the pleasant neighborhood shopping centers of Montclair Village and Glenview. Close by Highways 13 and 24 offer direct routes to San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Contra Costa County.
The living room of the home has always been the center of gracious entertaining of family and friends, and this room has been conceived to provide an impressive representation of that concept.
The dramatic vaulted wooden beamed ceilings and crossbeams direct one's eye upward to the stunning overhead chandelier that is certainly the centerpiece of the room.
The virtual floor to ceiling multipaned windows draw in the light and outdoor beauty that surrounds the home, adding yet more x.
A reverse view reveals the full size of the living space, and also reveals the centrally placed fireplace, around which multiple seating arrangements and tables can be placed, depending on one's individual design concept for the room.
Just off the living room is the home's entrance that features a pleasant side entry porch and sturdy front door.
To the right of the entrance is this especially engaging dining room that features a distinctive dark brown and white color combination that is featured throughout in its window trim, floor, and entry door.
The three beautifully matched windows reveal the exterior greenery and the well established redwood trees, while offering a soothing, yet impressive, view of the surrounding grounds.
Just a few steps off the dining room is this charming breakfast nook that is perfectly placed to enjoy one's morning meal or lunch and a view.
This gleaming kitchen has been impressively updated, and includes custom cabinetry, a pantry, and solid surface quartz countertops. Also included are gleaming appliances that include a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator,and a free standing pro grade Bertazzoni gas range.
As one moves through the main floor to other rooms in the home, one's eye is immediately caught by this large window that allows in the sunny view of the home's unique outdoor patio.
There are two very attractive rooms on the main floor of the residence. The first, seen here, is currently being used as an office, but could certainly be converted to another bedroom if needed.
Another first floor room is this warm and engaging en suite bedroom with its own personal fireplace, and a view to the outside patio that is seen below.
The room's adjacent en suite bathroom offers a color coordinated theme, dual sinks with overhead lighting and mirrors, and a walk-in shower.
Just off the bedroom above is this large and welcoming exterior patio that is anchored by a handsome brick fireplace that will offer both warmth, and a foundation for the entertaining that most certainly will be occurring. There is generous seating space available, and privacy is assured with the surrounding walls and trees.
Another bedroom is found on the second floor, and is equally unique. It is quite large, has a far curved wall with three windows, and substantial floorspace for a number of design concepts to please.
The adjoining bathroom is large and gleaming with a roomy tub for a pleasant and relaxing soak, along with an adjacent walk in shower.
There is yet another second floor bedroom suite that is seen here. It easily accommodates two beds, and has a small adjacent side room for additional furniture to suit one's needs.
