About this House

It's time for this Storybook home to turn the page to its next chapter. A jewel-box ready to house the treasured memories of your saga, this spacious oasis is spread across three stories with cozy nooks and crannies at every turn, and is sure to leave you enchanted*. Amenities include updated electric throughout, a heat pump system providing heat and AC on every level, a new (2026) chef's range anchoring the perfect kitchen triangle, a soak tub with a window and serene view for when you need to decompress, and a walk-in shower for when you need a quick clean. Whatever your needs, you won't have to sacrifice comfort to enjoy the timeless charm. Classic design touches like hardwood floors, ample closets and built-in storage throughout, and windows everywhere connecting you to the lush surroundings while still maintaining your privacy. The reading/sleeping nook in the primary bedroom is big enough for a mattress for naps or to stargaze as you daze off at night. Or it could be a home office for ultimate work from home comfort with a huge window connecting you out to green trees and blue sky, your co-workers will think your actual camera footage is a filter. Two-story unfinished garage and storage underneath provide ample plus space and possibilities for expansion (ADU?)**. Ample yard space on this plus-sized lot maximizes indoor/outdoor flow and connection with a front patio, back deck, and flat space in the back that's a blank canvas awaiting your vision. Tucked away yet easily accessible with three different entry points, you can choose to access the front door via minimal steps from multiple angles. With Thrornhill Elementary just blocks away, Monclair Village and Redwood Regional Park so close, and access to the 13 and the 24 so easy, you can quickly connect to everything the Bay has to offer while still being able to disconnect from it all behind the walls of your castle. Don't miss this chance to make your happily ever afters come true! *Actual magic not guaranteed, Buyer to consult their own wizard. **Buyer to investigate. ***Bed count differs. Buyer to investigate.

    "I can only commute via car or by driving 7 minutes to BART. I work from home so I only have to do this some times."
  • Trulia User
    "This is a great neighborhood but since we are the city of Oakland I’ve found that getting the city to respond to any concern is very difficult. The people, neighbors are amazing."
  • Trulia User
    "Love being in the nature or trees of the area. The area is great for exploring and hiking. Friendly neighbors. Lovely areas. Great local restaurants. "
  • Trulia User
    "My commute to the city is as expected given the distance, area and terrain. It is not easily accessed from public transit and the commute on Public Transit mirrors that of driving. "
  • Bill K.
    "Lots of friendly dogs and owners are out walking their dogs. A nice place to get daily exercise and feel safe."
  • AJWodecki
    "Wonderful elementary schools rated 9/10. Good mix of neighbors who have been there a while and many young families..."
  • ljrutah
    "Spectacular Views, Very Quiet, Nice People, Abundant Wildlife And Greenery, Easy Commute...Love This Neighborhood!..:)"
  • Msseelam
    "This is a tremendously rich area. The drive up Broadway Terrace either from College Avenue or from Montclair restaurant options is about 6-9 minutes. The proximity to all that hub and buzz and the exclusiveness and scenic beauty the home offers transports me back to the days I spent in the Lugano district of Switzerland overlooking the Mediterranean. Can't believe that in San Francisco the price for a third of this type of home with none of the privacy and a huge HOA to boot is probably twice as much!!"
