New Listing: Never Before on the Market & Built by the Owner! 2-Story Traditional Home w/ Pano-Views (no, not Panama)
Welcome to this wonderful house and this tremendous opportunity to own a truly great home. As the second owners, you will be entrusted with its care and it will give you many benefits. As it really has 5 bedrooms, it’s somewhat special. Added to that, is the fact that each of the bedrooms is spacious and sunny and has above normal storage. Even if you don’t need 5 bedrooms, the flexibility is crazy; Media Cave, office, guest room, art studio, exercise room, den or whatever else you have in mind. Or, maybe you really have sights on the next “Eight Is Enough” crowd. Either way, you win. The main floor is where all the action is. The big, open living and dining room creates the sought after “Great room” we all want. The kitchen and views are close by. There is a place for a casual meal and the back covered porch is a lovely spot to sip coffee after the morning chaos is over. Upstairs is the quiet part of the house. You have a big master bedroom and a perfect infant room, or additional bedroom.
There are lots of great uses here. The bathroom has a big shower, so you won’t be competing with the fray on the main floor. Views- Whether you’re working at the kitchen sink, sitting at the dining room table, or in any of the west facing bedrooms, the view to the west is intense. So many homes boast a view, but not like this – Mt Tam, the New Bay Bridge, the City of SF, the Golden Gate Bridge, both Airports, and you can watch the fireworks at the A’s stadium! There are so many landmarks to pick out. And, it’s all laid out like a little diorama just out of reach, but so beautiful. For nuts and bolts, there is a big laundry room, 2 car attached garage with internal access, an EBMUD Sewer Certification and a workshop area at the back of the garage. So Much Storage in every nook and cranny, and a nice level backyard complete with fruit trees and a veggie garden. The owners who built this home have taken good care of it. They have maintained it meticulously (evidenced by a $475 termite report) and continued to improve it all along. The list of seller improvements is long and you can see a copy here on site, or on the web.
My favorite spot (and it’s hard to pick a favorite) is the front garden. I‘m told that Kathleen and John sat here looking over the kids and greeting neighbors, or after the din died-down just holding hands and thinking about how lucky they had been. Maybe this is the place for you?
This home was built by the Brekke Family and has served as the hub for this amazing Oakland Clan. They have lovingly maintained this home since it was new. It has many amazing features and recent upgrades to take note of. Please see the extensive “List of Seller Improvements” onsite and on the web.
This part of the East Oakland Hills offers sweeping views of the Bay. Your new home is not far from The Oakland Zoo, Knowland State Aboretum and Park, Leona Regional Open Space and The Sequoyah Country Club. Freeways are also nearby connecting you to the rest of the Bay Area and beyond!
