A stunning mid-century retreat where architecture, light, and nature exist in perfect harmony. This dramatic, two-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bath single family home with 1,448 sq ft is built in 1965 and features an open-concept main living area, soaring ceilings throughout and an airy floorplan flooded with natural light. Multiple skylights and statement windows frame lush, verdant views, while full-height sliding glass doors seamlessly extend the living space onto an expansive deck: ideal for entertaining or quiet moments surrounded by trees.
The serene primary suite offers a private en-suite with modern fixtures and finishes. Filtered Bay views and a natural tree canopy provide exceptional privacy, creating a true sense of escape.
Step outside and you’re moments from the highly rated Moon Gate trailhead and the renowned hiking and biking trails of Redwood Regional Parks—nature is literally at your doorstep. The home offers convenient level-in access from the rear via a shared driveway, a two-car carport, and additional guest parking.
Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces include peaceful seating areas, a sun-drenched patio, and a thriving vegetable garden, complemented by an abundance of storage.
In addition to improvements made by the previous owner, numerous upgrades have been completed since 2019, including the addition of oak hardwood floors in the living area and refinishing them throughout, resealing the private driveway, installing a gas shutoff valve and air conditioning, replacing the roof, rebuilding and repairing the chimney flue, replacing the kitchen exterior door, repairing exterior dry rot, and painting both the interior and exterior. Plus, there’s more!
This is a quiet, restorative oasis in Piedmont Pines that feels a world away, yet remains just minutes from Montclair Village, downtown Oakland, or a short drive to the City of San Francisco. Truly a must see before it’s gone!
