Piedmont Side of Montclair
Built in 1927 and beautifully reimagined, this impressive two story Mediterranean home on the Piedmont side of Montclair offers the perfect harmony of historic charm and modern luxury. Surrounded by mature, lush landscaping and custom wrought iron railings, the residence features a desirable layout characterized by graceful arches and pristine dark hardwood floors.
The sun-drenched formal living room, anchored by a beautifully detailed wood-burning fireplace, has elegant French doors to an expansive deck, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, Quartz countertops and backsplash, and premier stainless appliances. A large bay window overlooks a tranquil, private garden sanctuary complete with a hot tub, a fountain, and a rare, original built-in stone fireplace.
The thoughtful floor plan includes two light-filled bedrooms and an elegantly updated bath on the upper level. The lower-level primary suite provides exceptional flexibility with an adjoining office space, a stylish full bath, and a separate entrance. It is perfectly suited as a private retreat, home office, or in-law unit.
Modern comfort meets timeless design with thoughtful upgrades throughout. Located just moments from Montclair Village, parks, tennis courts, and a charming 1930s storybook library. With easy access to San Francisco transportation, this home is a rare urban retreat where luxury and natural beauty exist in perfect harmony.

about this
Neighborhood
∎
Set among the pine trees in the upper Oakland hills, Montclair is a small, welcoming community known for its relaxed atmosphere, often compared to Mill Valley. Tree-lined streets and established gardens lead to sizable custom homes set on forested lots, many with bay views, creating an elegant retreat from the city. Homes extend through the canyons and reflect the area’s natural setting, with architectural styles ranging from Mediterranean and Craftsman to contemporary, ranch, and mid-century split-level designs. Lot sizes can reach acres, offering space and privacy, while the neighborhood is close to East Bay parks, providing miles of hiking and biking trails for an active lifestyle.
At the heart of the community is Montclair Village, a charming central shopping district that recalls a simpler time before large commercial centers. Residents enjoy nearby everyday services, specialty shops, and popular dining spots including the Montclair Egg Shop, Daughter Thai, Kakui, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet treats can be found at Le Bonbon and Farmstead Wine and Cheese, while a weekly Sunday farmers' market offers fresh local produce and baked goods.
Montclair is also known for highly ranked public schools, adding to its appeal for families. Montclair's storybook library was originally 900 square feet and built in 1930 about half a mile from the just emerging Montclair Village. To meet the rising demand for children's services, two additions have since transformed Montclair Library into a busy 3,900 square foot branch serving a well-established, bustling community. The neighborhood hosts year-round arts events, seasonal street fairs, and a lively jazz festival in late summer. Additional nearby amenities include Lake Temescal Park, the Chabot Space and Science Center, tennis courts, and neighborhood parks.
