What makes it special
Classic Rancher
Built in 1956 by the family that's selling it today, bidding farewell to the sweetest rancher in town.
Perfectly perched above the boulevard, with sparkling swimming pool and lovely views of the bay.
This timeless home has survived the raising of four rambunctious boys and has responded happily to recent updates: New cooktop, oven, dishwasher; primary bathroom makeover; refinished wood floors; new electric panels; and compliant sewer lateral. Easy all-level layout and warm exposed-beam vaulted ceiling. A roomy family area off the kitchen leads out to the pool apron and wide patio. The detached laundry room also serves as a cabana for a quick-change into bathing suits.
Set on 1.16 acres, the hillside above is ready for orchard, swings, or viewing platform. Plenty of parking on the generous driveway and a two-car garage/workshop with "old school" sliding doors.
Abutting Vista Madera (now City Stables) which adjoins Anthony Chabot Park. Formerly cattle grazing and horse country in Rancho San Antonio days, this land still echos with its ranchero history. Discover a unique historical corner of Oakland!

Hillcrest Estates: Oakland's Ranchero Land
The Hillcrest Estates neighborhood is long in footprint and wide in population, spanning nearly three miles in length with approximately 250 homes. Its perch on top of the Oakland Hills and surrounding green space make for unparalleled vistas, country quiet, and ample opportunity for recreation. Bordered by Anthony Chabot Regional Park and Leona Canyon Regional Open Space, the neighborhood evolved from former ranchero land and ultimately developed into three sub-divisions throughout the 1950's.
The primary architectural characteristics in the area are large, mostly level ranch-style homes, zoned as minimum one-acre lot sizes. Broad, dramatic views are common - both of San Francisco Bay and also east across the Contra Costa Hills and park spaces.
A wealth of parks and trails are near at hand for picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. Joaquin Miller Park, Redwood Regional Park, and Anthony Chabot Regional Park are replete with picturesque landscapes and challenging hikes. Venture out of the neighborhood and you’ll enter the larger environs of Montclair, with its shops and restaurants and its close proximity to commute routs, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), and AC Transit bus lines. For Hillcrest Estates residents, BART can be conveniently accessed at Rockridge, Fruitvale, Oakland Coliseum, and San Leandro stations.
