Oakmore

Nestled on a gentle sunny hill in the most picturesque pocket of the Oakmore Hills, you will find this charming yet sophisticated Monterey Colonial home. This residence offers panoramic views from the South Bay to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. To the north, the majestic presence of Mount Tamalpais captivates. More than just a dwelling, this home is a daily invitation to savor the beauty of the Bay Area.
Natural light floods the expansive living and dining rooms through numerous glass doors that open to a large deck, which serves as an extended room of the home, allowing you to better enjoy the epic views both day and night. Inside, this inviting space epitomizes the beauty and warmth of 1930s architecture, featuring a cozy brick fireplace, wide-open spaces, random plank hardwood floors, and kitschy original tile work that pays homage to the era.
The floor plan is designed for both privacy and function, with all sleeping rooms located on the upper and lower levels. The upper level basks in sunlight, offering two spacious bedrooms that share a home office with views so stunning they may distract from work. The lower level offers a private suite retreat with a separate entrance, ideal as an in-law unit or the perfect guest suite.
All of this, and you're just minutes from Park Blvd dining and shopping, a Transbay bus stop that takes you directly to San Francisco, Montclair Village, and easy freeway access. A perfect retreat with magnificent views and a vibrant community, this home offers the ideal blend of charm and convenience. Don't miss the opportunity to call this extraordinary property your own.
