Imagine what it would be like to wake up to this extraordinary view every morning. The entire San Francisco Bay area awaits below for your daily pleasure and enjoyment.
This peak hillside home is located at 5989 Grizzly Peak Boulevard in Oakland, and offers 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms in an exceedingly spacious 3188 sf of living space.
It seems as though you are literally sitting atop of the world as you gaze out your multiple floor to ceiling windows that surround you in your combined living room/dining room complex.
This home is equally suited to both private relaxation and enjoyment, and to hosting events. The open concept living space created here allows easy movement from one space to another-perfect for entertaining when the moment arrives.
The distinctive drama created by the room's overhead wooden beams highlights the slightly softer wood color of the living room and dining room floors.
The size of the dining room easily allows the placement of a large dining table and chairs for multiple guests, with room remaining for additional furniture-perhaps a buffet server, cocktail table and china cabinet.
Just steps away, and perfectly placed, is the updated kitchen that is seen here and below. A wide front counter reaches out to accommodate the preparation and the serving of food, while the corner nook, with table and chairs, is ideal for a casual breakfast or luncheon
This gleaming and updated kitchen offers a comfortable and efficient working space with a cheerful bay window, supplementary overhead lighting, a pantry, and a dishwasher, oven, range, and refrigerator.
Another view illustrates how the counter is especially effective for service in a variety of ways. It is just a few steps from the dining room and breakfast table, but it is also provides the most efficient way for one to prepare and serve food to those who are seated on the outside sun porch just across from the kitchen, as is seen below.
A great deal of thought has gone into hosting and entertaining guests with this residence. The kitchen is especially well located to serve food to those out on the view deck to the right that is immediately accessed through the sliding glass doors to the right, and also through the front door to the additional sun deck to the front of the house.
What a pleasure to sit among the old growth trees around the residence, and enjoy the serenity that it offers.
The size of the house offers so many additional amenities to enjoy and appreciate. One, seen here, is a cheerful home office with a view to the surrounding trees. This space could also be used as a music or play room, or as an art studio.
There are four bedrooms. The first, seen here, continues the design theme of capturing every possible view to the city below through the many large windows around the room.
A second cozier bedroom provides dual window coverage of the surrounding trees, and captures plenty of sunlight as well.
Continuing the home tour, one discovers a very large and inviting family room that is paired with a wide floor to ceiling sliding glass door that opens to the outside shaded deck that is seen below.
This serene outside shaded deck pairs beautifully with the adjacent chairs and sofa inside the home that are seen above, to create a perfect space for hosting parties and get togethers.
The primary bedroom, seen here, is warm and welcoming, and is a very pleasant living space with the special extra amenities seen below.
Just steps away is a large closet and storage area that is always valued in any home.
A fully updated primary bathroom provides exceptional counter space, display space and storage space, along with a large walk in shower.
Directly across from the primary home, and, as illustrated below, is this very spacious and welcoming in law unit.
A reverse perspective reveals the overall floorspace and the adjacent bathroom.
Between the primary home and the in law unit is this view porch that is well suited for relaxation and hospitality for either residents.
A view at dusk shows the gracefully curved stairs that lead one from the street above down to the home and in law unit below.
As is seen here and below, the home takes on a special glow as the sun sets, and the world comes alive with light from the drama all around it.
This truly special home is one that is in demand for those who enjoy its beauty and drama, and its outstanding location to the cities that surround it.
It is being offered for sale for $1,595,000, and I encourage you to call me promptly at (510) 517-6280 regarding it.
