About this home

This is the kind of home where you instantly relax. Sunlit corners and cozy nooks invite curling up with a book, while private Dimond Canyon views make you forget you’re just minutes from the grocery store. Set among the Oakmore treetops, this dreamy 1940s home is surrounded by a canopy of 22 mature oaks, redwoods, and maples, offering a peaceful retreat from city life. Held by the same family for 61 years, the property has changed hands just three times, preserving much of its original architectural character. Recent updates include fresh interior & exterior paint, refinished random plank oak floors, a refreshed kitchen with new appliances, countertops, & tiled backsplash, two brand-new bathrooms w/ designer tile, new copper plumbing, and electrical rewire with a 200-amp panel. The main level showcases rich character with hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove beamed ceilings & charming built-ins. A bright living room with windows on three sides frames leafy views and opens to a canyon-view balcony. The classic galley kitchen features a sunny breakfast nook, new countertops, sink & faucet, stainless steel appliances, an induction range, and durable plank flooring. Two peaceful bedrooms and a refreshed central hall bath complete the level. Downstairs, relocating the laundry to the adjacent finished workshop creates a flexible space for a den, reading nook, or light-filled office. A private third-bedroom suite offers a new en-suite bath & walk-in closet. The spacious laundry/workshop, includes a utility sink, direct garage access & adjacent basement with secure vault offer potential for an ADU conversion (buyer to verify). Outside, an oversized downslope yard with mature trees, terraced paths & garden beds feels like a private park, backing toward Bridgeview Trail. For added accessibility potential, a retaining wall cutout and the deck previously accomodated a wheelchair lift. Enjoy tranquil canyon living just minutes from Rocky’s Market, Montclair Village, Glenview & Hwys 13 and 580. Come see for yourself and enjoy the peace and tranquility of private hillside living, yet still close still to everything.
