This handsome hillside home is located among lush gardens and sheltering trees in Oakland's Montclair neighborhood at 6258 Crown Avenue.
As with so many locations in Montclair, there is a special Tahoe like atmosphere that surrounds one, yet the village of Montclair and surrounding cities are just moments away.
The home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 2013 sf of living space, and is being offered for sale for a well priced $649,000.
This light filled living room and dining room combination represents two of the best features for a desirable home-warm and relaxing, but spacious enough for easy entertaining.
The view, seen here, truly represents the design concept of the home's central living space. There is a well thought out floorplan that encourages easy movement from one room to another, and every room is just steps away.
Its exceptionally large living room has been enhanced with expansive floor to ceiling bookcases above, and generous storage cabinets below.
The varied sizes of the bookcase shelving is ideal for display of favorite art, books, or collectibles, and the storage below can handle a variety of needs-from favorite china to games, or electronics.
Immediately adjacent to the living room is this ideal combination of the expansive dining room, the updated kitchen, and access to the outside dining and viewing porch.
Worth noting-the centrally placed fireplace, seen here, serves both the kitchen and dining room with warmth, and the lower cabinets are perfect for holding serving pieces, china, and silverware.
Floor to ceiling view windows surround this substantial dining area, and they capture the serenity of the treescape and hills below.
The soft colors of the overhead beams and ceiling are reproduced in the wood trim around the windows, and on the floor, creating a harmonious effect.
Glass doors to the left open onto the stellar outside deck space and encourage one to step outside to all that awaits.
The sun filled kitchen is especially well designed. Its warm coloring compliments the adjacent dining room's colors, and everything needed is especially well placed for efficient use and effect by the home chef.
Amenities include a dishwasher, gas range, a microwave, oven and refrigerator, and a generously sized central island that serves multiple uses-as a lunch or breakfast dining space, a food preparation site, or as a serving site for meals.
A cozy eat in kitchen space is available for a relaxed meal or for a cup of tea and a good book, while enjoying the garden view.
A literal wall of cabinets awaits the needs of the chef, and can easily handle the variety of dishes, china, serving pieces and glassware that will be needed for both personal use and for hosting guests.
There are a wide variety of opportunities to enjoy outdoor living with this home. Opposite the dining room, a long porch encourages one to walk along the deck and view the rear gardens of the home from above.
A broader view reveals the substantial amount of space that has been set aside for outside entertaining, making it a welcome site for parties, special events and barbecues.
Directly below is a truly impressive garden that has been carefully designed to effectively use all the available space for a variety of plantings and trees.
Returning inside, one can experience the three bedrooms that are offered with the home. The first, seen here, is the primary bedroom, which is especially welcoming, with its own personal fireplace and cozy ambiance.
Steps away is this gleaming primary bathroom which has been updated to include a very inviting soaking tub, adjacent stall shower, and vanity.
A second bedroom is bright and gleaming, and its location allows one to take advantage of its second floor location to view the Montclair hills that surround it.
Two doors open onto porches. The largest, the sliding glass door, opens to allow one to step outside on the largest porch for a relaxing experience any hour of the day.
The view from the upper floors reveals the Bay area below, allowing one to have the best of both worlds-a view of the city combined with the peace of the hillsides.
The cozy third bedroom does not disappoint. It, too, is cheerful, welcoming, and offers its own view of the city hillsides.
Worth noting, there is a detached studio beneath the garage that can offer multiple uses. It is private, perfect for an office, and has an attached bathroom.
This well furnished bathroom is just steps away.
A reverse view reveals the window space and adjacent treetop scenery.
If you would like to experience this hillside serenity, and this stunning home, I encourage you to call me immediately regarding it. It is priced at $649,000, and is an outstanding value for its purchase.
