Quiet Lower Montclair Retreat Close to Everything

Set on a peaceful street in the popular lower Montclair neighborhood of Glen Highlands, this extensively remodeled traditional residence is a rare and unexpected retreat – offering remarkable tranquility just moments from Montclair Village, parks, hiking trails, and an easy commute to San Francisco and beyond.
Originally built in 1993 and recently transformed with significant upgrades and refined contemporary styling, the home feels fresh, sophisticated, and effortlessly turnkey. From the moment you enter, the sense of light and openness is striking. A welcoming entry leads into a dramatic sunken living room with soaring ceilings, an iconic fireplace, and expansive windows that fill the home with natural light.
The floor plan unfolds beautifully for both everyday living and entertaining. The elegant dining room, framed by oversized divided-light windows and French doors, opens seamlessly to the extraordinary gardens beyond, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection rarely found in this neighborhood.
At the heart of the home is a stunning, newly renovated kitchen featuring a striking central island with oversized designer hood, custom cabinetry, designer tilework, premium state-of-the-art appliances, and a refined contemporary aesthetic that balances warmth with sophistication. Gleaming new hardwood floors, fresh finishes, and extensive system upgrades throughout provide both beauty and peace of mind.
Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms offer flexibility and comfort, including a vaulted-ceiling bedroom filled with light and a generous primary suite with two large closets and a calming, private ambiance.
Outside, the magical multi-level gardens create the feeling of a secluded private oasis. Thoughtfully designed with a mix of lawn, planting beds, mature trees, quiet sitting spaces and inviting dining terraces for al fresco entertaining, the grounds are both lush and serene – a rare sanctuary tucked into the heart of Lower Montclair.
Complete with an attached two-car garage with interior access, and exceptional proximity to Montclair shopping, cafés, transportation, and nature, this is a truly unique offering that combines modern updates, timeless comfort, and extraordinary tranquility in one of Oakland’s most coveted neighborhoods.

Neighborhood

Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese. A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
