Privately nestled behind a gated entry and set on a sunlit expanse, this retreat feels like stepping into a countryside villa. Level living and timeless architecture give way to interiors full of warmth and charm—wood-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, designer tones, and two cozy fireplaces. The formal entry opens to a gracious living room, an inviting formal dining room, and an updated eat-in kitchen that inspires connection. The family room transitions seamlessly to the outdoors, where the pool invites you to unwind or entertain beneath wide-open skies.

Four bedrooms and two and a half baths offer space and flexibility. The spacious primary suite features four closets and garden views. Two additional bedrooms are generous in size, while the fourth is perfectly suited for a home office, guest room, or creative space. The layout flows beautifully, offering both privacy and connection.

Outside, the soul of the property unfolds: a vintage stable, a wide grassy area with ADU potential (buyer to verify), and an orchard bursting with almond, persimmon, loquat, lemon, nectarine trees, and more. Raised beds with fresh soil await your garden dreams. Lounge poolside, dine beneath the pergola, or share a moment beside the outdoor fireplace. A two-car garage, ample parking, and minutes-away access to trails, Skyline Market, and city conveniences complete the experience. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.

Property Tour

Neighborhood

The Skyline/Hillcrest Estates neighborhood is small in footprint and population, encompassing nearly one square mile with nearly 900 residents, but its perch on top of the Oakland Hills and surrounding green space make for scenic views and areas for locals to relax and play. Bordered by the Leona Canyon Regional Open Space, Leona Heights Park, and Redwood Regional Park, the neighborhood's large, contemporary homes offer amenities like patios and tennis courts. 
Skyline/Hillcrest Estates offers locals and visitors a wealth of parks and trails for picnicking and hiking. Joaquin Miller Park, Berkeley Fire Trails, and Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve are picturesque landscapes and challenging walks for you and your canine friends. Venture out of the neighborhood and you’ll enter the larger environs of Montclair, including its community parks and recreation and close proximity to commuting options — including the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) casual carpool, and AC Transit bus lines.
