Nestled amidst the majestic redwoods, this wood-shingled residence boasts stunning lines that effortlessly blend warmth and contemporary style.
As you enter, you'll be greeted by an open, bright floorplan marrying stone and wood floors across voluminous, designer living spaces. A few steps down from the entry reveals the chef’s kitchen, a culinary haven with a massive central island, sleek cabinetry adorned with stainless pulls, and a sink strategically placed under a window looking out at the enchanting redwoods. Equipped with a Viking range and hood, Bosch dishwasher, ample butcher block counter space, and a wine fridge, it's the perfect setting for entertaining friends while enjoying a glass of wine. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the dining room, where high exposed wood-beamed ceilings create a stunning ambiance. A delightful solarium sitting area beckons you to unwind, surrounded by the vibrant beauty of lush flora including a captivating red Japanese maple and banana trees.
Ascending from the kitchen, you'll find an outdoor stone patio dining area, complete with built-in benches and elegant, minimalist landscaping that merges seamlessly with the dramatic woods beyond—a perfect spot for alfresco gatherings.
A true statement of style awaits you in the two-level dual living and family room. Designer wallpaper adorns a wall with copious windows, drawing the eye to the lush greenery outside and creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The upper living room features a stunning modern gas fireplace for a toasty ambiance and built-in shelving on either side—a sophisticated space for an effervescent evening with family and friends. An ultra-stylish powder room completes this level.
Follow the chic wood-banister stairway, illuminated by unique designer light fixtures, to the upper bedroom level. A generous landing drenched in natural light welcomes you. Upstairs, two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings offer picturesque nature views and modern opaque glass closets. They are served by a large and stylish bath. Do not miss the laundry room, neatly tucked away.
The primary suite unfolds like the pages of Architectural Digest, with a wood-framed opaque glass wall that infuses the space with light and visual appeal. This private sanctuary boasts tall ceilings, modern lighting, skylights, and a functional yet stylish California closet. A specialized pull-out shoe rack caters to your shoe passion, while the spa-like primary bathroom is a masterpiece.

Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the iconic Montclair Egg Shop, Daughter's Thai, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Kakui Sushi and Perle Wine Bar are both wonderful options for a fun date night or a quick cocktail! Pelago Gifts has special finds!
Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese. A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
Do not miss Montclair Park, a neighborhood favorite complete with picklecall courts, a skate ramp, baseball diamond, pond and multiple playgrounds! For hiking and lovely shaded walks and runs, try the Railroad Trail that leads from the center of the Village along side Shepard Canyon and is approximately a 4 mile roundtrip excursion. Wanting more outdoor fun? Neighboring Redwood and Joaquin Regional Parks encompass stately forests of 150-foot coast redwoods and provide miles of hiking, jogging, and horseback-riding trails.
Looking for some time for a friendly tennis match, leisurely swim or various exercise classes? Montclair Swim Club, Oakland Hills Tennis Club and The Hills Swim and Tennis Club are all close-by.
Convenient transportation options with highways moments away as well as AC Transit lines! What a wonderful place to call home!
