Nature, space, and community at your doorstep
Lovingly held by one family since 1985, this remarkable 3,322 sq. ft.* home is on the market for the first time in nearly 40 years. Tucked into nature, this home has a magical restorative vibe that radiates as you move through the space. And even though you feel as if you are at a faraway retreat, you are just minutes from Montclair Village, regional parks, and freeway access, offering the best of both peaceful retreat and city convenience.
The home's introduction begins with the front patio, the first of many outdoor connections. Framed by mature trees surrounding the built-in seating, it offers the perfect spot to entertain or simply relax. Views of majestic trees linger in the distance as you walk through a wide, welcoming entryway to the dramatic living room with vaulted beamed ceilings and an exposed stone block fireplace. The filtered sun beams through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and blurs the lines between the interior and exterior spaces. French doors open out onto the spacious, sunlit deck that overlooks the garden. The dining room and updated kitchen with skylight, stone countertops, gas range, and pantry flow seamlessly, making everyday living and gatherings effortless.
Upstairs features 3 bedrooms** and 2 baths**, including a primary suite with patio access. Downstairs, a flexible lower level offers a full bedroom plus additional bonus room and bath**, a second living area with a fireplace, and a kitchenette***. Plus, it has its own private deck overlooking lush trees and the generous backyard, ready for its next gardener.
With a detached 2-car garage, abundant storage closets, and newly replaced driveway deckboards (Sept. 2025), this is a home designed to adapt as your life evolves. Fantastic proximity to East Bay Regional Parks with incredible hiking, biking trails, and off-leash dog trails. Easy access to Montclair Village and the freeway.
A rare Montclair offering with nature, space, and community at your doorstep.

Neighborhood
Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese. A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
