This special home is characterized by its connection to nature. The artful garden oasis is filled with color and texture, with pathways leading to beauty at each turn. The canopy of trees, the mature ornamentals, the magnificent roses all contribute to a unique botanical experience. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a great room-style living area, a splendid kitchen, and a separate office. Originally built in 1951, it was reimagined and remodeled to appeal to today's lifestyles. The open spaces invite festive gatherings and easy day-to-day living, united by gleaming hardwood floors. The elegant primary suite hosts a spa-worthy bathroom with a glass brick wall and fold-out window, creating the illusion of being among the flowering bushes. Vistas of the amazing gardens are available from every room, and the patio at the rear is like an outdoor version of a living room, complete with a wood-burning brick fireplace. The office and laundry space on the lower level leads to the garage. The owned solar electric power system is appealing to those ecologically and budget-minded. The secluded 9,375 +/- sq ft lot is in the admired Piedmont Pines neighborhood of Oakland's Montclair District. A half-mile trip will take Regional Park fans to trailheads, and Montclair Village Business District is a 10-minute drive away.
