This level includes a large Chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, a center island providing abundant workspace and storage plus a walk-in pantry. The kitchen area also includes a practical work desk and dining area that opens to an outside deck. The lovely oak hardwood floors were recently refinished on this entire main level.

On the lower level is the master bedroom suite with a luxurious retreat bath and walk-in closet plus two additional bedrooms, another full bath and laundry room. The home features solar panels providing more efficient energy consumption and a convenient large two-car garage with interior access.

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.
