About This Home
Perched in the coveted Oakmore hills above Oakland, this tastefully updated 1943 Spanish Revival presents an extraordinary private hillside sanctuary for living and entertaining. Light-filled interiors unfold across 2,300 square feet, highlighted by bay views and tranquil outdoor living spaces surrounding a majestic Oak tree on an oversized lot.
Flagstone entry steps lead into a two-story foyer accented by original wrought-iron railings and classic hardwood flooring. Throughout the home, original architectural details maintain a distinct Craftsman-influenced Spanish character—from wide arched doorways to clever built-in flourishes, such as a vintage fold out telephone stool off the kitchen. The sunken living room serves as a captivating focal point, defined by exposed timber beam ceilings, wood shutters, and a refreshed brick accented fireplace featuring a tapered chimney. Adjacent French doors open into the formal dining room, balancing intimate hosting with an easy, continuous flow.
At the heart of the main level, the eat-in kitchen is defined by abundant cabinetry with pantry, a convenient breakfast nook, and a new Bosch gas range. A wide window positioned above the sink frames direct views of the lush rear gardens, while an adjoining flexible den provides a comfortable space for relaxing with friends or family thanks to a discrete, built-in media and TV storage. It also would make a great office! New transitional-style lighting brings a fresh, modern energy throughout while preserving the home's historic spirit. A full main-floor bathroom, coat closet and direct garage access complete this level.
On the upper floor, the expansive primary suite feels like a true sanctuary, complete with vaulted ceilings, plush carpeting, dual closets, and views overlooking the private back garden. Its ensuite bathroom offers a dual-sink vanity and an oversized walk-in shower fitted with dual showerheads. Two sizable secondary bedrooms retain their original hardwood floors and generous closet space while capturing views across the San Francisco Bay. They are served by a classic full hall bathroom featuring updated tile work, a pedestal sink, built in storage cabinetry, a classic soaking tub, and a separate stall shower.
Outdoors, tiered gardens and multiple gathering spaces set a magical stage for moonlit dinner parties, meditation, or quiet morning coffee beneath the grand oak canopy. Outdoor amenities include a basketball court, a playhouse/shed, and professionally designed, irrigated landscaping. Beyond the court, an undeveloped upper terrace provides flexible space for a future ADU, cabana, or expanded lawn.
The lower level houses an attached garage with an insulated door, 220v car charger wiring, laundry, and ample basement storage. Comprehensive infrastructure upgrades ensure complete modern peace of mind, including seismic retrofitting, recently permitted electrical wiring, copper plumbing, dual-pane windows, enhanced drainage system, and a high-efficiency furnace with central AC.
Nestled in coveted Oakmore, one of Oakland’s hidden gem hillside neighborhoods, this home is conveniently close to Rocky’s Market, Montclair Village, Glenview dining, and regional parkland trails.
