Directly across from San Francisco, the Bay area views that are captured by those living in the Oakland hills are spectacular, and are some of the most desirable in the world.
This home at 6942 Chambers Drive in Oakland's Montclair district, is a perfect example of the views that are available of this panorama that lies below this hilltop aerie.
It offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and 2032 sf of living space.
The entry to the home is especially unique. A long fenced walkway leads directly to the its impressive rear view deck, and a handsome color coordinated multipaned front door provides entry to the interior of the house.
The main room of the home is stunning. It truly represents the concept of gracious indoor/outdoor living. The peaked floor to ceiling windows capture every moment of beauty from the surrounding forest of trees and the Bay area below.
Doors slide open to provide access to the top deck of the home so that both residents and visitors can gather together there and enjoy the drama all around them.
The entire far right wall is a well conceived combination of enhancements. The sleek and well designed fireplace is combined with the vertical, and color coordinated wall above it that encourages the display of a wide variety of favorite paintings, glassware, and collectibles.
Opposite the fireplace is living room space for generous dual sofa seating and a cocktail table.
Also worth noting is the consistent decorative theme of warmly colored wooden overhead ceilings that are enhanced with the drama of the white open beams that run between them.
Behind the sofas, and just steps away, is this ideal combination of the dining room that is paired with a very efficient kitchen island/counter, and with the home's adjacent kitchen that is seen below.
This perfect pairing allows for ease of service of food and beverages to residents and guests from atop the stone counter space, Multiple drawers at its base are especially suitable for storage of serving pieces and silverware.
This gleaming updated kitchen is a welcoming site for those who enjoy preparing and serving a variety of cuisines. Offering a wealth of storage space and generous counter space, it also features Bosch and Jenn Air appliances.
A wider view of the dining area illustrates, once again, the easy access to the upper deck, and the inviting vista that awaits.
Whether this striking deck is being used for a quiet evening retreat to view all the lights below, or for a sunny luncheon for a group of friends, it is an amazing asset to this already distinctive home.
The entire Bay area is at one's feet when living in this home. From the balcony, seen above, is the entire span of scenic beauty from South San Francisco, San Francisco and San Francisco Bay, to Marin County.
Also included are both bridges, with Oakland and Emeryville seen directly below.
There are four bedrooms in the home. The first, seen here, is the primary bedroom. Comfortably sized, it features a floor to ceiling closet with sliding doors for easy access.
A reverse view reveals its proximity to its en suite bathroom that is just steps away, and the presence of a wall of windows to the left that captures the exterior light.
This adjacent primary vanity has been dramatically updated, and light abounds from virtually every angle. It features a Lacava floating vanity and Grohe fixtures.
A large lower floor bedroom has tall ceilings, plentiful floorspace, and is arranged in such a way that one can easily transition between this space and the very dramatic and appealing patio space just at the other side of the sliding glass door.
Because the home is on a hillside, there is no rear patio space for enjoyment. In its place is this very unique and special front deck space that has been carefully crafted to ensure a perfect living space, and one that is also a private living space.
The wood on the deck is the same color as the fence that works itself entirely around the home, beginning at the front gate, and insures both harmony and privacy.
It is ideal for gatherings, special events, barbecues, and whatever one needs for entertaining.
On the lower level floor of the home is this very expansive living space that is currently being used as an office space, and large family room.
Other uses are also available, depending on the needs of the residents, and could include, or become, a large office, an arts and crafts room, playroom or music room.
Each side of the room boasts sliding glass doors that open onto the home's lower deck which is easily accessed, and also has the same outstanding Bay area scenery.
Also on the lower level is this inviting bedroom that also opens out onto the lower deck.
The lower deck, seen here, runs the entire width of the home, and provides the same Bay area views as the deck directly above it.
If you would like to learn more about this exceptional, and especially well located home, I encourage you to call me with your questions and interest at (510) 517-6280. It is being offered for sale for $1,168,000.
