Welcome to 6966 Balsam, a beautifully updated, turn-key contemporary home nestled in the Montclair hills. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus an additional 'flex use room', the spacious open floor plan allows for working from home, a home gym and more! French and sliding glass doors provide great indoor/outdoor flow to the ample sized redwood decks with unique design element of curved rails that gracefully flow amongst the trees. The main level of the home features the kitchen, dining and living rooms, a large deck, plus a full BR and large BA. Just down the stairs are 3 more bedrooms, a laundry room and full bath. And once you step outside the lower level BRs onto the side deck, you’ll find an additional treasure: a spacious 'flex use' room with concrete floors and high ceilings, decorated by chandelier light fixtures. On a private cul-de-sac location with filtered South Bay views, this nature retreat is close to the Montclair Village, fwy access, Sibley & Redwood Regional Parks.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKids here tend to be extremely ableist and vape in the bathrooms. It is not a good school. Counselors aren't trustworthy in the slightest and tell anyone about your issues. This school is one where it is easy to be bullied for something small and you'll be tormented for that for the rest of the school year.Other Review7mo ago - Skyline High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo not send your kids here. Do not work here. It is under collapse. No support from admin. No support from teachers. Kids roam the campus and do what they want with no consequencesTeacher Review1mo ago - Thornhill Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is well-run with an active PFC, but the community at large tends to be remarkably toxic. There is a lot of gossip and privilege that undermines the wonderful individuals here, staff and parents and even amongst kids. If this community were less focused on complaints and more focused on actively supporting one another, then this would be a really nice place, but I would say that families considering this place should be wary.Other Review4mo ago

"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."

"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. "

"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. "

"Lots of friendly dogs and owners are out walking their dogs. A nice place to get daily exercise and feel safe."

"Spectacular Views, Very Quiet, Nice People, Abundant Wildlife And Greenery, Easy Commute...Love This Neighborhood!..:)"

"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!!"
