Upper Rockridge
Enchanting and magical describe this elevated, thoughtfully designed yet cozy retreat. Nestled on a gentle hill in the coveted Upper Rockridge neighborhood, it’s surrounded by green lawns, blossoming flowers, and birds singing in the treetops. Welcome—your peaceful sanctuary awaits. Natural light streams through the many windows of the expansive living room, offering spectacular views of San Francisco, the Bay, and its iconic bridges. Through French doors, step seamlessly into the outdoors and experience how indoor comforts blend beautifully with nature. The backyard entertaining area feels like an extension of the home—ideal for warm summer night soirées or quiet mornings with your favorite cup in hand, watching hummingbirds flit through the flowering gardens. Recently updated with designer finishes, the sun-filled kitchen and cozy breakfast nook provide the perfect spot to connect and share the events of your day, all while enjoying a garden view. Each of the three bedrooms is spacious and filled with sunlight. The luxurious bathroom features classic Carrara marble and a European-style shower-tub combination, creating a true spa-like experience. The location of this home is unbeatable. A short stroll brings you to the recreational haven of Lake Temescal—perfect for biking, picnics, and summer swims. Montclair Village and Rockridge’s shopping and dining scenes are just a mile away, offering both convenience and charm. For commuters, the Trans-Bay direct bus stop is only a few blocks away, making your daily travels a breeze. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this slice of heaven your own.
