Property Description

Tucked into a peaceful, tree-filled setting in Oakland's coveted Woodminster neighborhood, this 1961 mid-century modern home pairs timeless architectural character with bay views, exceptional indoor-outdoor living, and remarkable potential. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath home welcomes you with soaring original wood ceilings and exposed beams that bring warmth and drama to the main living spaces. A fireplace anchors the living room, while expansive windows frame the surrounding trees and views toward the Bay. Step outside to one of two spacious decks-ideal for morning coffee, sunset dinners, weekend gatherings, or simply taking in the tranquil hillside setting. Downstairs, a generous family room continues the mid-century aesthetic with high ceilings, exposed beams, a second fireplace, and easy outdoor access. It's a fantastic space for entertainment, media, playrooms, or relaxed retreats. And then there's the garden: approximately 20 tomato plants create a true farm-to-table experience just steps from the kitchen. Pick dinner from the garden, open a bottle from the dedicated wine storage, and head to the deck as the sun drops toward the Bay. Set on a 15,760-square-foot lot, the property offers something increasingly hard to find: room to grow. The unfinished lower-level spaces present possible development opportunities, subject to applicable approvals. The existing home is comfortable and move-in ready, allowing a new owner to settle in now while imagining what comes next. An oversized two-car garage provides abundant space for vehicles, bikes, outdoor gear, workshop space, and storage. Best of all, the outdoors are practically at your doorstep. Joaquin Miller Park-with its redwoods, hiking and biking trails, and miles of open space-is just across the way, while the shops, restaurants, and conveniences of Montclair Village are nearby. Highway 13 and connections to 580 and 880 put Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area within easy reach. This is more than a home-it's an Oakland Hills retreat with room to live, entertain, create, and grow.
