Modern elegance and contemporary architecture merge to artfully highlight the natural setting of this brilliantly designed property. Reimagined in 2005, the home was expanded to approximately 5432 square feet, creating gracious public rooms, soaring ceilings, and a perfect indoor, outdoor flow. A grand gallery entrance is thoughtfully designed to display a well-curated art collection, opening to the dramatic living room with direct access through French doors to the pool, patio and surrounding gardens. With over 40 fruit trees, rose gardens, rhododendron beds, and a Zen garden with water feature, the exquisite grounds offer a truly stunning and tranquil retreat. This sensible modern design also offers a highly coveted level-in entrance, offering an ideal setting for clients with a discerning eye for detail and a love of entertaining.

Neighborhood

∎

The Skyline/Hillcrest Estates neighborhood is small in footprint and population, encompassing nearly one square mile with nearly 900 residents, but its perch on top of the Oakland Hills and surrounding green space make for scenic views and areas for locals to relax and play. Bordered by the Leona Canyon Regional Open Space, Leona Heights Park, and Redwood Regional Park, the neighborhood's large, contemporary homes offer amenities like patios and tennis courts.
Skyline/Hillcrest Estates offers locals and visitors a wealth of parks and trails for picnicking and hiking. Joaquin Miller Park, Berkeley Fire Trails, and Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve are picturesque landscapes and challenging walks for you and your canine friends. Venture out of the neighborhood and you’ll enter the larger environs of Montclair, including its community parks and recreation and close proximity to commuting options — including the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) casual carpool, and AC Transit bus lines.
