With sweeping views that stretch from the SF skyline and Bay Bridge to Mt. Tamalpais, this updated all-level home in the Oakland Hills offers a rare blend of simplicity, livability, and connection to nature. The circular floor plan encourages easy movement and effortless flow, with a wall of sliding glass doors that dissolves the boundary between indoor & outdoor living. A dramatic skylight crowns the kitchen, infusing the heart of the home with natural light and a sense of spaciousness, while custom built-in shelving in the living room adds function and architectural interest. Step out to a serene patio to discover a lush, mature garden sanctuary featuring flowering natives, sculptural succulents, twin bubbling fountains, and a romantic wisteria-draped arbor—an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings under the stars. Inside, the private primary wing offers a new en-suite bath with a glass-enclosed, zero-transition shower, custom tilework, dual vanity, and classic fixtures, creating a restful retreat that feels both elevated and timeless. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hallway bath featuring custom tile and an oversized LED vanity mirror. Owned solar+battery, newer roof, updated lighting throughout, and 2-car direct access garage. Close to 24, 13, & SF.
