Refreshed Hillside Nest with City Views
Perched in Oakland’s sought-after Upper Dimond neighborhood, this 1956-built 3-story home has been refreshed with a designer’s eye, thoughtfully expanded over the years and takes full advantage of its dramatic downslope setting, capturing views of San Francisco and the Bay from every level.
A modern exterior framed by natural brick and surrounded by new landscaping, new lighting and a welcoming courtyard entry offers a prelude to the interiors.
From the moment of entry, the home reveals its defining relationship with the horizon. The main living level is anchored by an open kitchen, dining, and living space where expansive windows frame San Francisco and Bay views. An original brick fireplace in the living room lends warmth and texture. The kitchen reflects its recent refresh, with newly painted green cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, Thermador gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave, and a generous island designed for gathering. Contemporary lighting and other curated architectural details bring the interiors into the present while maintaining the home’s mid-century spirit. Two bedrooms and a refreshed hall bath with new countertops, new plumbing fixtures and travertine tile complete this level, along with direct access to the attached two-car garage.
Downstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, where a brick fireplace and sitting area create a quiet place to unwind, complemented by a spa-like bath featuring travertine tile, new quartz countertops, new plumbing fixtures, dual sink vanity, an oversized shower with frameless glass enclosure, jetted soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in closet with built-in organization. One additional bedrooms, a full laundry room with side-by-side W/D, abundant storage and updated systems complete this level.
The lower level introduces an entirely separate dimension of living with access to the yard and patio. A family room with wet bar and built-in media cabinetry opens to Bay views. A dedicated office alcove with shelving serves as workspace also with views, while an additional bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests or extended living. From this level, doors open directly to the tiered backyard with patios, a half basketball court, and bonus open space. Here, there are multiple vantage points from which to experience the Bay, reinforcing the home’s relationship to its hillside setting.
Recent updates include new recessed LED lighting, designer plumbing and lighting fixtures, fresh interior and exterior paint, new plumbing fixtures, refinished floors, newer laminate flooring, and updated hardware. Major infrastructure upgrades include a newer roof, dual-pane windows, three brand-new high efficiency furnaces, Nest thermostats, automatic gas shutoff valve, and sidewalk compliance, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
Located in the desirable Upper Dimond enclave, just minutes from Montclair Village, parks, schools, dining, and commuter routes, this revamped mid-century modern offers a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready expansive home in desirable Oakland Hills.
