This gorgeous four bedroom, three bath traditional home is located in the secluded Piedmont side of Montclair and nestled into the hillside with forest and bay views. Hidden from the street by mature hedges, walking in the front gate feels like stepping into a secret garden. A welcoming stone path gently curves downhill through spectacular landscaping and ends at the front door beside the first of many outdoor terraces. Entering the home you'll experience the unexpected drama of high ceilings, skylights, and floor to ceiling windows in the great room. The split level layout has an easy, open flow designed with entertaining and gatherings in mind. Imagine family holiday dinners in the formal dining room, black tie cocktail parties on the front terrace and great room, casual pizza and movie nights in the downstairs den, and potluck barbecues on the outdoor back deck. Hwy 13 is moments away for easy commuter access, and the nearby bustling Montclair district offers public parks, a library, shopping, and restaurants. For nature lovers the popular Redwood Regional Park is just up the hill with abundant hiking and biking trails. For anyone considering Oakland hills living, don't miss this private and stately property.
