225 Rishell is a light-filled, spacious mid-century Oakland Hills home with dramatic bay views and an expansive rear garden. It is situated just moments from regional parks and Highway 13, and it features an inviting layout and a crisp, modern aesthetic. The eat-in chef’s kitchen is fully updated. At 225 Rishell, a magical rear garden is perched on the edge of a bay-facing canyon and includes both a deck and a patio, as well as a wood-burning fire pit, raised vegetable bed, productive apple and plum trees, as well as an oak and a towering redwood. This beautiful home has a lovely owner’s suite with bay views and an internal-two car garage.
