Built in 1922 in the Oakland foothills on a pretty, tree-lined street near Mills College, this picture- perfect Craftsman home has been tastefully expanded to include a versatile floor plan over two levels featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living room/dining room, an eat-in kitchen, two bonus spaces for home offices and/or playrooms, and an attached garage. Spacious at 1,931 square feet, the home's upper main level includes the original home's two bedrooms and bathroom, while the "nearly" level-in (2 steps down) lower level features a large primary bedroom plus an additional bedroom and an attractive shared bathroom with sophisticated finishes. The updated/remodeled eat-in kitchen features a vintage hardwood floor, JennAir and Miele appliances and stone counters beneath a Carrara marble tile backsplash. Both levels have direct access to the fabulous private backyard with tiered decks, mature landscaping, a lawn, and scenic tree-top and Oakland hills views. Located close to freeways and offering easy access to Montclair Village's shopping and amenities, this turn-key home is just blocks to Mills College with its 135 acres of paths, trails and gardens, and cultural and academic programs geared to the public. Very special.
