About this House

This stunning home is perched on a cul-de-sac just above Alvarado Road, as peaceful as can be, with phenomenal views. Golden light filters from the many windows into large, spacious rooms.

There is a living/dining room combination with fireplace, an eat-in kitchen and a well-appointed den (or 3rd bedroom) on the main level along with a half bath. Upstairs you'll find a sumptuous grand scale master suite and a lovely light-filled bedroom with its own bath.

The laundry room is off the entry, plenty of space for storage is found in the 2-car garage, and the deck invites you listen to the lovely rush from a waterfall and pond. This home is not too large, but luxurious and grand, with high ceilings and many thoughtful details. Pretty much everything that makes the East Bay great is right in view! Close to everything Elmwood, Rockridge and Montclair have to offer, there are great commute options and easy freeway access.

    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"
