About This Home
∎
Tucked into the heart of desirable upper Rockridge, this single-level home is a rare sanctuary — private, serene, and wrapped in natural beauty. Newly refinished hardwood floors flow throughout, while expansive windows in every room fill the home with light and frame the lush garden views beyond.
The spacious primary suite comes complete with a charming dressing room and vanity, connecting the bedroom and bath. The living room flows seamlessly into an open-concept dining alcove wrapped in windows for a bright, airy feel. The living room itself looks out to a stunning Japanese-style garden — thoughtfully layered with a variety of trees, striking placed boulders, and a unique cascading fountain that together create a sense of calm and quiet beauty. The kitchen features a cozy breakfast nook, perfect for casual mornings, while a bonus room with skylight offers flexible space for a home office or guest quarters. An attached garage with interior access adds everyday convenience.
Outside, the property truly shines: the Japanese-inspired landscaping continues around both the front and back of the home, creating exceptional privacy amid its natural textures and stonework, while two distinct patios and a large deck provide multiple spaces for entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. All this, just moments from the beloved Village Market, College Ave's shops and restaurants, Rockridge BART, AC Transit lines, Hillcrest Elementary and private schools, Lake Temescal, and Montclair Village — offering the rare combination of tranquil, private living with everyday convenience close at hand.
