Four Bridge views highlight this perfectly sited Piedmont retreat where contemporary design meets arts & crafts architecture to create a light filled masterpiece. Stunning quality and attention to detail flows through all rooms of this show-stopping home built just 9 years ago. Captivating San Francisco Bay vistas frame each of the 5+ bedrooms and all living spaces creating ever-changing living art. The swoon worthy kitchen's distinguishing elements include soapstone counters, Shaw sinks, Blue Star range, Jenn-Air refrigerator, wine cooler and adjacent wet bar. Radiant heat throughout, exceptional temperature controlled wine room, executive office, gym, seemingly endless decks, and grassy level play area complete this meticulously planned home. Enviably located at the intersection of Upper Rockridge and Piedmont, 198 Maxwelton provides the best of both worlds - Oakland's vibrant culture with access to Piedmont's acclaimed public schools and services.
