Magical Oakland Hills Estate

Magical Retreat on nearly 3 Acres - California Living at its best!

Wooded retreat on nearly 3 acres - a resort-like estate, consisting of a gorgeous and spacious single-level 2+ br/ 2ba home, a renovated Quonset Hut guest house, and a large rustic art studio/workshop.* Beautiful integration with nature, diverse and lovely living and working spaces, a rare enormous lot with development potential. This unique property is already fabulous the way it is, but also lends itself to many uses - community or multi-generational living, an enchanting retreat, or other transformations. The expanse and layout make for a wonderful place to entertain, relax and live life in a natural setting.

This oak studded property is adjacent to Joaquin Miller Park, yet inconspicuous behind a private security gate. The way the buildings are situated with their own settings on this sylvan lot, adds to the genuine warmth and charm of this special property. You’ll feel like you’re on a secluded woodsy estate in the hills, when in fact you are just moments from shops, dining, community amenities, public transportation, and convenient freeway access. It’s convenience blended with the tranquility of nature.

House:
Over 2200 square feet (per measured floorplan) 2+ bedroom, 2 bathroom home, with an eat-in kitchen, sunny tiled family room, and enormous dining/living great room with hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. Primary bedroom with an enclosed sunroom/office. Second bedroom opens to the patio. Every window offers beautiful verdant garden and forest views. The serene private patio, delightful entertaining grove and inviting hot tub glade – inspire you to live in harmony with nature.

Quonset Hut*:
Rare in the Bay Area, this Quonset Hut, originally designed for WWII bases, somehow ended up perched perfectly on this property. Neither the current nor previous owners know the full backstory of this building, but they sure have enjoyed it - as have decades of their overnight guests, family, and caretakers. Recently updated with new flooring, kitchen cabinets, counters and range, in addition to a retiled bathroom and a complete refresh (January 2022). It has a private back deck and a level front patio, wonderful for cook-outs, enjoying drinks, relaxing and more. Sparkling, hip, and ready for fun, this is the best bonus building!

Artist Studio/ Workshop*:
A truly useful space with natural light, this quaint building has a rustic cabin feel that inspires creativity. With ample storage space, you will have a place to organize your work and create. The 2-room building has big windows, a skylight, electrical power, and all the potential you can imagine. Let your creative juices flow, bring your projects to life here, or dream about what this building, itself, might be converted to…
