About This Home

A Glen Highlands peaceful retreat
Set in Montclair’s sought after Glen Highlands neighborhood, this impressive home pairs Bay views with a peaceful, private setting and an easy connection to the best of the East Bay. Built in 2002 and designed by well-known Bay Area architect Richard Janzen, the home sits above the street, where beautiful sunsets and surrounding hills create a wonderful sense of escape.
At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen and family room open directly to a rear patio and fenced yard, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. The expansive front terrace offers a front-row seat to colorful sunsets over the Bay. Warm hardwood floors and custom cabinetry, along with handcrafted ironwork and stone details, bring character throughout.
The flexible fourth bedroom, with its own bath and separate entrance, is ideal for guests, an au pair or a private home office. An elevator connecting the two-car garage, lower level and main entry terrace adds an unexpected level of convenience.
Just minutes from Montclair Village, Rockridge, Lake Temescal and Highways 13 and 24, the location makes it easy to enjoy neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, the farmers market, trails and everyday conveniences. Yet at home, the setting feels remarkably removed from it all.
Perhaps most special is Glen Highlands itself. A warm, connected neighborhood known for its strong sense of community, hidden staircases, bay views and beloved traditions. 6228 Swainland offers that rare combination of views, space, privacy and community that makes a house feel like home.

about this
Explore the Neighborhood

Tucked away 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.
