Discreetly nestled on nearly an acre, this superbly landscaped 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom mid-century home is a true showstopper. The spacious foyer connects to the attached garage for easy access. Stylish black slate floors set the tone as the space unfolds into a living room with unobstructed sightlines, a statement fireplace, and a wall of glass framing the natural beauty beyond. An adjacent dining room overlooks the garden, ideal for dinner parties. New white oak floors enhance the single-level floor plan, seamlessly connecting to exceptional outdoor spaces. You'll fall in love with the bluestone patios, sparkling pool, inviting hot tub, and charming detached studio. Winding paths, mature landscaping, veggie beds, and even a chicken coop make this property feel like a private retreat, perfect for relaxation and entertaining. The generous, open kitchen was fully renovated in 2017, featuring a Thermador range, quartz counters, and custom cabinetry. A spacious family room with wet bar accommodates large gatherings, effortlessly opening to the outdoor amenities. Built for John Reading, Oakland's 44th mayor, this 1954 home exemplifies California's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. With its gated entrance, owned solar, and thoughtful design, this unique offering is not to be missed. Come on by!
