One of the pleasures of living in the Oakland hills is the Tahoe like atmosphere that one experiences daily. This stunning mid-century modern home, located at 5470 Fernhoff Road in Hillcrest Estates, has been designed in such a way that it settles in beautifully among the lush, well established trees and plants that surround it.
It is truly spacious, offering 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms in an outstanding 3374 sf of living space on 1.05 acres.
To the rear of the home is this stunning pool that invites one enjoy its beauty, recreate and exercise, and entertain friends with parties and barbecues.
The design of this outstanding home takes advantage of all 3374 sf of its living space, and, as is the concept of a mid-century modern home, invites in the exterior light from virtually every angle of this living space.
As one tours, it is hard to ignore the creativity of design that is seen where every room is paired with the beauty of the exterior pool and gardens through the use of floor to ceiling windows and doors that reveal every dramatic detail.
A large, and uniquely conceived stone fireplace enhances the far wall, and the color coordinated living room is large enough for a variety of distinctive furniture groupings.
Just steps away, a sliding glass door offers immediate access to the home's patio area and pool, encouraging a free flow of activity from one space to another.
Directly across from the living room is this marvelous dining room that brings entertaining to a whole new level. The floor space is impressive, providing a variety of opportunities for creating a unique and personal experience for both residents and guests, and the view to the pool adds just an additional bonus to it all.
The far wall features an outstanding bar with storage above and below for one's favorite glassware, serving pieces, and beverages. The five levels of shelves to the right encourage displays of one's special collectibles, art work, books, or a mixture of all of them.
A view from the pool area into the home reveals the living areas from the outside, and includes a sheltered view deck at the top left.
Returning inside, this angle shows the built in bar and seating to the left that is ideal for food or beverage service.
This glowing kitchen, with its overhead lighting and a well thought out work space, represents a well conceived floorplan. Everything for the home chef is just steps away, and the storage needed for hosting is outstanding, with drawers and cabinets of every size, and at every level.
It is placed just steps away from the dining area for easy service to guests.
Appliances in this updated kitchen include stone counters, a refrigerator, dishwasher, gas range, grill, and built in oven.
There are four bedrooms in the home. Two of the most spacious will be shown below. Their size and amenities make each a site for truly creative design opportunities that will enhance the already dramatic living space.
This softly colored bedroom is especially appealing, with its well lit and subtle overhead lighting, imaginative flooring, and of course, a view and direct access to the pool and patio area through a sliding glass door.
Generous closet and storage space is just to the right of the glass door to the patio and pool. Opposite the drawers to the right of the door, a mini bar and refrigerator have been installed as an additional amenity.
