This handsome hillside home sits high in the Crestmont neighborhood of Oakland at 4230 Terrabella Way. It is especially well located, with a large variety of shopping and dining opportunities just moments away, including nearby Montclair Village.
Just up the hill are redwood groves, public picnic grounds, and a wide variety bike and hiking trails.
It offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a generous 2806sf of living space.
The hills of Oakland offer some of the most impressive and dramatic views of the Bay area. Whether they are daytime or evening views, the experience and enjoyment is always memorable.
This home is situated in such a way that the entire mid-Oakland to the South Bay area is visible.
The home is especially warm and welcoming with it softly colored walls and light wooden flooring. The high ceilings and the far wall of windows combine to create a pleasing ambiance for both residents and guests.
It is especially effective for entertaining, with its generous, free flowing floorplan that allows ease of movement from one space to another within the home, and the access through two doorways to the striking outside view deck.
A large fireplace anchors the room, and its location invites one to sit down on cool Bay area evenings with friends to enjoy its warmth, and their companionship.
Just steps away, through a gentle archway, is the very engaging dining room that awaits either formal or casual entertaining-it is very well suited for both.
This view of both the living room and dining room together reveals this perfect combination of their mutual effect on one's daily living.
It also reveals the far left wall of floor to ceiling windows that capture soft sunlight and evening charm.
As indicated above, both the living room and dining room have direct access to the top floor deck of the home which is designed in such a way that it can accommodate numerous parties and barbecues, or just furnish quiet corners for a private moment in the sun.
Just steps away from the dining room is a direct access to the kitchen, which will make entertaining, and food service, a breeze.
This updated kitchen, with so much to experience, awaits you. It offers amenities that should please the most demanding chef, and everything that is needed is just steps away.
It is anchored by a central island that features so many useful functions. They include a quartzite counter top, a topside grill, working space for meal preparation, and, combined with a three chair seating capacity is ideal for a morning breakfast or quick lunch.
It is exceptionally generous with storge space that is available around the room at every level--from floor to ceiling cabinets, to smaller wall cabinets, it can accommodate one's varied storage needs.
Updated appliances around the room include a dishwasher, gas range, microwave and refrigerator.
Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is this relaxing family room where casual food from the kitchen can be enjoyed while sharing media events or a get together.
And, as with all the other rooms on the west side of the home, the family room has two floor to ceiling glass doors that open out onto the deck, as seen below.
This second floor deck is certainly one of the highlights of the home, and is capable of accommodating many guests when needed, or just providing a personal retreat in one of its corners on a pleasant sunny morning.
Upon entry into the home, one is greeted by this swirling and dramatic stairwell that leads one down to the lower floor of the house where the bedrooms are found.
The largest of the four bedrooms to be found below is the spacious primary bedroom, seen here. It continues the home's design commitment to capturing the scenic beauty of the outdoors, and comes complete with a view deck just through the large sliding glass door.
Not to be missed is the engaging personal fireplace that assures warmth and comfort, when needed, on cooler days in the hills.
As would be expected in a home of this quality, the adjacent primary bathroom is bright and gleaming, has both a very comfortable tub, and a shower, a dual sink and mirror combination, and plenty of storage below.
Close by, is the house's second bedroom that shares the second floor deck with the primary bedroom. It also faces west, hence the appeal of the 3 sets of view windows and door to view the rolling hillsides below.
This second floor deck serves both of the two bedrooms referred to above, and offers shade, when desired, on especially warm days.
Also available is this large room that is currently being used as an office, but could easily become another bedroom, an office, music room, or nursery.
If this very engaging hillside home appeals to you, please feel free to call me with your questions and interest at (669)202-8888. It is being offered for sale for $988,000.
