Situated on over a half-acre in the coveted Oakland Hills, this property features a spacious main house and a charming two-unit guest cottage, both showcasing sweeping views of the Bay. The main house presents two full baths, each with a tub and separate shower, plus a half bath and two full kitchens, one on each floor. You be impressed with echoes of mid-century modern design in the living room and dining area with cathedral wood beam ceiling accents and a wall of glass windows that frame lush outlooks. All of the kitchens have beautiful outlooks. Additional amply sized guest bedrooms offer a peaceful ambiance. The inviting cottage has a wonderfully appealing open social space, wood beam ceilings in a 2 bed, 1 bath upper unit and a 1 bed, 1 bath lower unit, both with lovely decks that extend the living outdoors. Majestic redwood trees anchor the lots edges while the main house, patio, and lawn enjoy sunshine. Move right in or return to it's former glory, so much potential here.
