Sunny, updated 1940s home with a garden, in the hills of Upper Oakmore!

Description

Tucked above the street for added privacy, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in Upper Oakmore is quiet and leafy, with tree and hill views from the living room's large picture window. Montclair Village, with its restaurants, cafes, and shops, is close by, as are trails and easy freeway access. Ideal for sabbatical visitors who want a calm, comfortable place to work and live. The mostly single-level layout is easy to live in. The living room is centered on a cozy gas-insert fireplace, and the versatile dining area can serve as a home office or a place to entertain. Just off the kitchen, a quiet family room has custom built-ins and a window bench that's ideal for reading. The third bedroom is currently set up as an office but can also be used as a bedroom. The chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, Cambria quartz counters, a gas range, and a hand-glazed Calacatta marble backsplash. A sunny breakfast area opens onto the backyard. Three bedrooms and two full baths are down the main hall, including an updated hall bath with custom cabinetry. Downstairs you'll also find a dedicated laundry room and extra storage, and a two-car garage with interior access. Outside, terraced gardens with pollinator-friendly plantings and several seating areas make a peaceful place for morning coffee. Getting to campus: UC Berkeley: about a 15 minute drive, and accessibly by public transit (AC Transit Line 18, or bus to Bart) Mills College at Northeastern University: roughly 10 minutes by car and accesible by public transit San Francisco and beyond: about 25 minutes by car without traffic, or easy trip via Bart.
