Visionaries take note! Comfortable and move in ready, and available for the first time in 61 years, this classic 2 level home offers an exceptional opportunity to live in a bucolic hillside nestled in the trees at the edge of Dimond Canyon in the coveted Oakmore neighborhood.
Well-maintained and preserved, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has changed hands only three times in its history, leaving much of its original architectural character intact.
From the street, a charming pathway winds through mature oak trees, rhododendron and camelias leading to a brick porch and lap siding facade. Light and nature views filter through windows on three sides of the front living room, where a private balcony extends to overlook the canyon. Generous room sizes throughout lend an inherently spacious feel, grounded by character-rich details including hardwood floors, original moldings, tongue and groove ceilings, and built-ins. Beyond interior, exterior paint, new countertops, a new dishwasher, new kitchen sink / faucet and new flooring in the kitchen, along with new flooring and vanities in the bathrooms, recent upgrades include a newly modernized 200-amp electrical panel and a complete rewiring of the home, removing the largest cost variable from any future cosmetic design budget.
The main living spaces transition seamlessly to a rear positioned galley kitchen complete with a dedicated breakfast nook that overlooks a majestic Oak branch and the rest of the backyard. While the current workspace is highly functional, the underlying footprint allows for a contemporary update cleanly within the existing walls without relocating structural elements.
Two comfortable bedrooms occupy the main floor, serviced by a large central hall bathroom that features both a tub and a separate stall shower. Downstairs functions on its own separate space, offering a private third bonus bedroom with an en-suite bath, walk-in shower, and large closet. This lower level also includes an oversized laundry room with direct yard access, plus ample storage / workshop / basement square footage as well as a secure vault and accessible plumbing for future expansion or a potential ADU conversion.
An oversized downslope yard evokes the feeling of a private parkland among 11 Oak, 6 Redwood, and 5 Maple trees complete with meandering paths, steps, vegetable garden beds, and possible access to the scenic Bridgeview Trail.
Tucked into a highly desirable, peaceful pocket of beloved Oakmore, the home balances its secluded Dimond Canyon environment with easy proximity to shops and restaurants near Rocky's Market, Montclair Village, Glenview, and straightforward commuting routes across the Bay Area via Highways 13 and 580.

Neighborhood
Oakmore emerged from a visionary development in the early 20th century, its name a literal interpretation of the neighborhood's defining characteristic—an abundance of oak trees that create a natural canopy across the landscape. Originally part of a carefully planned residential expansion, the area was developed by real estate pioneers who recognized the unique potential of Oakland's hillside terrain.
Montclair Village serves as the primary commercial hub, offering a robust collection of local eateries, boutique shops, and essential services along Mountain Boulevard and La Salle Avenue. This commercial corridor provides residents with convenient access to everything from daily necessities to specialty dining experiences.
The neighborhood's architectural landscape tells a compelling story of Oakland's residential development. Homes dating from the 1920s and 1930s feature a mix of architectural styles, including Tudor Revival, Mediterranean, and Craftsman designs that create a visually distinctive residential environment. Proximity to Shepherd Canyon Park provides residents with direct access to extensive hiking trails and open spaces, transforming everyday living into an opportunity for outdoor exploration.
What distinguishes Oakmore is its remarkable balance of urban convenience and natural preservation. Bounded by major parks and featuring carefully maintained residential streets, the neighborhood represents a distinctive living experience that captures the best of Oakland's hillside communities. From panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay to direct access to local amenities, Oakmore offers residents a residential environment that combines architectural heritage, natural beauty, and strategic urban positioning.
