This handsome hillside home is located in the Montclair district of Oakland at 6804 Saroni Drive, and offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a generous 2146 sf of living space.
As with many of homes in the Oakland hills, it also offers the pleasant serenity that comes from being surrounded by old growth trees and hillside greenery.
Many residents choose these hills because of this Tahoe like ambiance that is perfectly combined with its close proximity to Montclair, Oakland, Berkeley, and Contra Costa County.
Guests are welcomed into this spacious, and carefully planned, front patio that provides ample space for parties, special events, or a quiet morning enjoying the sounds of nature.
The impressively remodeled home's living room is awash in warm and glowing light that is captured by the stunning wall of windows on its far side. These windows reveal the beauty, and the size and depth of the tree covered hillsides that Montclair is famous for, and that shelter the home itself.
The beauty of the room's enhanced design is revealed in the imaginative combination of the darker colored overhead wooden ceiling with the white cross beams-the latter of which match, and join with, the cross beams in the floor to ceiling windows.
A distinctive fireplace anchors the room, and the size of the floorspace around it invites a number of creative furniture configurations both for daily living, and for entertaining.
Steps away, a central dining area allows one to enjoy a pleasant meal and the scenery below. It is large enough to accommodate a much larger dining table and chairs should one desire, and is in a perfect location for formal events or casual buffets .
The French doors next to the fireplace opens out onto the large wooden deck which is ideal for a combination of indoor/outdoor entertaining.
It is hard to resist the charm of this home with its dedication to hillside living and modern design. This porch allows one to settle in among the sounds of of nature on a quiet early morning, or share its beauty with others.
Just steps away is a large kitchen counter that is efficiently designed to provide multiple uses. It can be a breakfast counter, a perfect serving space when entertaining, or an ideal food preparation space.
Worth noting is yet another set of French doors to the right that also opens to the porch, allowing easy service of food to guests seated there.
This dramatically updated kitchen, with its literal floor to ceiling cabinetry, features a sleek design concept and multiple appliances that include a dishwasher, a large gas range, a microwave and refrigerator.
There are two bedrooms on the main floor. The first, seen here, offers a view window, a sliding door closet, and room for a comfortably sized bed and matching nightstands.
The other bedroom on the main floor is much larger, continues the home's design theme of overhead beams and smaller, but equally effective, view windows, and has an ensuite bathroom that is seen below.
This gleaming ensuite bathroom has been updated, and features a large walk in shower, and a wide countertop with storage space below.
An outstanding overhead mirror reflects all the color and light that abounds throughout.
Two additional views of this primary bedroom reveal its size and flexibility of design. An outstanding asset is the far wall closet space that can be seen above, and the French doors that open to the outside deck, allowing in light and beauty.
Also available is this private storage closet that adds even more personal storage space for clothing and shoes.
The nearby bathroom, seen above, provides a very desirable dual sink format, an impressive, and well lit mirror above, and a roomy bathtub.
Downstairs, there is an additional room that can serve multiple uses depending on one's immediate needs. Ideas include an additional bedroom, office space, arts and craft room, or perhaps a play room.
A lower level porch is available, and is seen in the primary bedroom view above. It offers a shady and private special space for a retreat and relaxation.
As is immediately obvious, this hilltop home has so much to recommend it that I encourage you to call me promptly regarding it. It is being offered for sale for $1,399,000.
