About this home

A beautifully remodeled retreat in the heart of Montclair Hills. Surrounded by lush greenery, this inviting single-level home offers the perfect blend of privacy, modern updates, and effortless Oakland living—just minutes from Montclair Village, neighborhood cafés, shops, and trails. Step inside to a light-filled, thoughtfully designed interior where contemporary updates create a tranquil sense of home. The remodeled kitchen is the centerpiece, featuring beautiful white oak cabinetry, gorgeous tile backsplash, quartz countertops, and a 5-burner gas range. Two renovated bathrooms - one with incredible views from the shower!, dual-pane windows, stone composite flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and in-home laundry add to the comfort and functionality. Outside, the house truly comes alive. A beautifully landscaped front courtyard offers a private space to gather, dine, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The rear deck feels tucked into the treetops and provides an idyllic spot for morning coffee or evening entertaining. A dedicated exterior storage closet beneath the home makes room for all the extras. Major systems—including the electrical, plumbing, and roof—have already been updated (2023), giving the next owner the opportunity to move in and enjoy without taking on a major renovation. Add a parking pad on the street level that allows for at least two car parking and the ease of single-level living, and you have a rare Montclair Hills offering that checks all the boxes. Fresh to market and newly positioned for its next owner—come see why this special home is worth a closer look.
