Property Description

Storybook Montclair Living with Sweeping Bay Views and Rare Level Grounds The magic of this Montclair home reveals itself from the gardens to the views, inviting you into a truly California way of living. This romantic, beautifully upgraded 4+BD/3BA, 2521 SqFt storybook residence pairs rich architectural detail with sweeping San Francisco Bay views, all set on a rare, level lot. A grassy lawn and English garden create a warm welcome. Inside, sunlight pours through mullioned windows, framing vistas from Marin to San Francisco to Oakland. The living room is both elegant and inviting, anchored by a vintage plaster and stone fireplace and crowned with a decorative coved ceiling. Just beyond, a light-filled solarium offers the perfect spot for a home office or quiet retreat, with easy access to the backyard for seamless indoor/outdoor living. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds a private patio and level lawn for gathering with friends, unwinding at the end of the day, or simply enjoying the quiet. Back inside, hardwood floors lead to a dining room with Bay views and into a well-appointed kitchen featuring a Wolf range, copper sink, adjacent laundry room, and a charming breakfast nook with built-in glass cabinetry perfect for enjoying a morning coffee. The main level includes two spacious bedrooms, one with a dressing area complete with built-ins, and another with a recessed ceiling and generous closet. A classic hall bath with a clawfoot tub completes the level. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat above it all, with expansive views, a Juliette balcony, a cozy sitting area with built-in storage, and an ensuite bath with skylight and walk-in shower. The lower level adds versatility with a private office, flexible space with sink for a studio or workshop, and a bright bedroom suite with a stylish full bath and glass door to the backyard. Thoughtful upgrades include solar panels, Tesla batteries, and EV charging outlet. All just moments from top-rated schools, Montclair Village’s shops and restaurants, and miles of East Bay parklands.
