48 Oak Ridge Road, a WOW house on a super desirable street! Designed by William Wurster in 1954, this spectacular mid-century modern home is perfect for the site. Private, unassuming, and level-in entrance from the street, everything changes once you enter the red
door. Upon entering you are instantly astounded by the panoramic scope of view looking out to San Francisco, the Bay, and Mt Tam. With the large expanses of windows and the deck you feel you are one with nature, the sky becomes your partner in living a dream life. Entry, living, and dining areas flow together creating a large spectacular space for entertaining, with gas fireplace and enough built in bookcases for a collector! William Wurster expanded and reconfigured the lower level in the mid 60s, creating a spacious primary suite with large deck, as well as two other bedrooms and full bath, perfect for older kids, visiting family. What was originally a bedroom with full hall bath on the main level has been used and is shown as an office/TV room, but can you imagine the ease of living all on that one level? An updated kitchen opens to a small rear deck with access to the street. This home feels perfect for the empty nester, someone with older kids, or in need of a special pied-a terre when they visit.
The large lot extends down to El Camino and features Japanese maples and a mature Meyer lemon tree, and while one could develop a garden, it seems perfectly suited to be a peaceful serene outlook that directs your eye to the view beyond. This home is for someone willing to undertake some projects: replacing the decks and updating the structural and seismic components. What a superb location! In addition to the incredible view, the street is super friendly with people out with their dogs, friends with friends, planning next get togethers. Three walking paths lead down to El Camino providing convenient access to the Claremont Hotel and Spa, Berkeley Tennis Club, hiking trails, Peet's Coffee, SF Express Bus, and the many amenities of Claremont, Elmwood, and Rockridge. Carport with level-in access, lower-level storage. A rare find!
