Perched above the city in the sought-after Crestmont neighborhood of the Oakland Hills, this exceptional home invites you into a lifestyle defined by light, layout, and unforgettable views. From the moment you arrive, a sense of calm sets in—where expansive Bay vistas, lush garden pathways, and thoughtfully curated spaces come together in harmony. Set against a backdrop of the San Francisco skyline, San Francisco City Skyline, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and Mt. Tamalpais, the home captures panoramic views that shift with the light and season. Even when the fog rolls in you are elevated above the clouds observing the hawks in flight. But what truly sets this home apart is how gracefully it lives. With an all-level, circular layout, this is a home that feels intuitive, adaptable, and effortlessly elegant, designed for daily ease and long-term comfort.
Step inside and you’ll notice the natural flow from room to room. A dramatic skylight in the kitchen pours light into the heart of the home, while a wall of sliding glass doors in the main living area opens to a covered patio and mature garden, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. Framed by blooming wisteria, sculptural succulents, and a pair of bubbling fountains, this outdoor space offers both privacy and poetry—a quiet sanctuary for morning coffee, weekend entertaining, or golden hour reflection. The home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a tranquil primary wing with a newly remodeled en-suite bath. Designed with both form and function in mind, the bathroom includes a zero-transition glass-enclosed shower with bench, dual vanity, and elegant tilework for a spa-like experience that’s accessible and timeless. A pocket door replaces a traditional swing door, expanding the space while maintaining flow and privacy.
Additional upgrades include an updated hallway bathroom with custom tile and an oversized LED vanity mirror, new light fixtures throughout the home, a custom built-in shelving system in the living room, and a unified flooring and paint palette that gives the home a cohesive, modern feel.
For the environmentally conscious buyer, the home is equipped with owned solar panels and a battery backup, paired with a brand-new roof—providing both peace of mind and long-term savings. A spacious two-car garage with direct interior access rounds out the list of thoughtful features.
And then there’s the location.
Tucked into one of Oakland’s best-kept secret neighborhoods, Crestmont offers the tranquility of hillside living with the convenience of access to a variety of amenities. Known for its underground utilities that preserve wide-open views, walkable sidewalks, and proximity to nature, Crestmont is a place where neighbors connect, the outdoors are always close, and homes stay in the same family for generations. You’re just minutes from Montclair Village, Rockridge, and major freeways—making it easy to reach downtown Oakland, Berkeley, or San Francisco in no time.
This is more than just a home—it’s a place to live beautifully, breathe deeply, and connect with what matters most. Whether you're starting your next chapter or looking for a refined space to age in place, this residence delivers comfort, style, and lasting value.
