Rare Montclair retreat offers exceptional privacy, inspired design, and over half-an-acre in the heart of Montclair! Tucked behind a private driveway in a spectacular hillside setting, this beautifully crafted home delivers the secluded, nature-immersed retreat that discerning East Bay buyers search for — without sparing a single convenience. The property’s park-like grounds offer a sense of space and stillness that is genuinely rare this close to the city. Inside, a dramatic great room anchors the home with soaring vaulted ceilings, striking wood beams, and a sweeping wall of windows that frame the lush surroundings at every turn. The chef's kitchen is built for serious cooking and easy gathering — a 48" professional range, walk-in pantry, and a substantial island at the center of it all. The primary suite is a genuine sanctuary: king-sized, with a custom closet and luxurious en-suite bath featuring radiant heated floors and an oversized shower. A second en-suite bedroom, two additional bedrooms, a third full bath, and a powder room complete 2,333 sq ft of refined living space (per public record). The grounds are as carefully composed as the interiors; two premium WellMade structures offer fully separate private spaces for a home office, studio, gym, or creative retreat — set apart from the rhythms of the main house. The private driveway leads to the two-car garage with interior access, along with guest parking for eight or more visitors. With Montclair Village's shops, cafés, and farmers market just minutes away, and the trailheads of Redwood Regional, Sibley and Joaquin Miller Parks easily accessible, this is the rare East Bay home that lets you choose exactly how much of the world to let in. Open Saturday & Sunday, 2–4pm.
