Panoramic Bay View, Award Winning Orinda Schools and Walkable to Nature Trails
Spectacular San Francisco views, spanning multiple bridges, city lights, and the sparkling Bay, along with the enchanting necklace of lights around Lake Merritt at sunset. Situated on nearly half an acre, mostly flat yard, the gated property is located 60% in Orinda, famed for its award-winning K-12 schools. The location also provides easy access to Oakland’s vibrant Rockridge neighborhood, known for its top-notch eateries and unique shops.
The two-level home boasts a newly updated interior that takes full advantage of the panoramic views. The open concept living room and kitchen area are bathed in natural light from large windows and glass doors opening to expansive front and rear decks. The five-bedroom, four-bath residence has a contemporary California aesthetic, blending impressive design with comfort.
The kitchen features a Carrera quartz waterfall island, a built-in wine bar, and modern black and white cabinetry. It opens to the rear redwood deck, overlooking lush greenery and Sibley Preserve. The primary suite offers floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of San Francisco, a serene retreat ambiance, an updated en suite bath with an oversized double shower and soaking tub, and a dreamy walk-in closet.
The lower level, with its neutral palette, continues the connection to the outdoors with an expansive redwood deck and backyard. It includes a family room, four additional bedrooms, and versatile private spaces. The yard features a sports court, climbing structure, and open green space suitable for both play and sophisticated adult gatherings.
Choose your own adventure: the yard features a sports court, climbing structure, and open green space ready for play (but sophisticated enough for adult parties). The dramatic wood-beam ceiling of the living room adds a textural earthiness to the contemporary aesthetic, while the expanse of windows capitalize on the spectacular views. A hallway leads to an office, laundry room, full guest bath, and the primary suite. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking San Francisco, the sun-filled private bedroom has jaw dropping vistas and the feel of a serene retreat.
Bringing the spa-like ambiance home is an updated en suite bath, with an oversized double shower and soaking tub, and a dreamy walk-in closet. On the lower level the neutral palette of crisp white walls and light-colored floors underscores the continuing connection

about this
Neighborhood
∎
Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese. A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
