About This Home
Mid Century Upper Rockridge Home
Perched in the heart of Upper Rockridge, this Mid-Century Modern gem perfectly balances architectural integrity with a sophisticated 2026 refresh. Spanning 2,026 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home welcomes you at street level with a spacious two-car garage. Just a few steps down, the entry leads into an expansive main floor designed for effortless, single-level living where original character shines alongside modern updates, including gleaming refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, a new roof, and upgraded electrical systems.
The heart of the home is defined by its seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Large expanses of glass draw the eye through the living spaces toward the lush surroundings, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The dining area opens directly to a charming balcony, the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset while watching the deer roam the nearby ridge. The spacious primary bedroom serves as a true retreat, featuring an en-suite bath, ample closet space, and direct access to a private deck overlooking the verdant Oakland hills.
The layout offers incredible flexibility across two levels. The lower level includes an additional bedroom and full bath, along with a dedicated office, a large secondary living area, and abundant storage. This level also features its own separate entry and stairs leading down to Ostrander Street, providing independent access that leads directly toward the Village Market. Whether you are cozying up by the wood-burning fireplace or hosting on the large front patio, the home feels both grand and intimate.
One of the property's most standout features is the impressive 8,645-square-foot lot. This expansive, private parcel uniquely spans the distance between Romany Road and Ostrander Street, offering a sense of seclusion and space that is rare for the area. The side and rear yards provide a lush, private canvas for gardening, recreation, or simply soaking in the fresh air.
The location is truly unparalleled. You are just one block from the local favorites at the Village Market, the nursery, and the Terrace Cafe, and only a stone's throw from the Hillcrest Elementary K-8 School. Surrounded by stunning architecture and scenic views, this home offers a sense of retreat while remaining incredibly connected. Commuting and exploration are a breeze with the shops and BART station nearby, along with quick access to Highways 13 and 24. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained piece of Mid-Century design on a significant, private lot in one of Oakland’s most coveted enclaves.
