A Rockridge oasis steps from the center of it all

A mid-century marvel nestled away in a creekside garden, this Rockridge oasis offers a retreat from the world while also being steps from the center of everything! A stately oak greets you at the entrance to this home, which beckons with vaulted beamed ceilings, dappled light, entrancing views of the ever-changing foliage, and architectural refinement at every turn. A sense of relaxation fills the space, whether you are working from the cubby-filled office just steps from the back deck or bathing in the sunken tub.

Once you arrive, you feel like you are in a world set apart, but the best of everything Oakland has to offer is just a few blocks away! The shops and restaurants that draw so many people to the Rockridge neighborhood is a five-minute stroll from the house. Get your coffee and pasta at Market Hall, your pizza from Zachary’s, your ramen and cocktails from the Ramen Shop, and stock up at Trader Joe’s or Safeway, both nearby. Or hop on BART and be in San Francisco in 20 minutes. But you may just want to stay home and enjoy the light and life through the skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows, or sit out on the deck that overhangs Temescal Creek and soak in the abundance of wildlife swimming or flying by.

The house offers 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, an office, central living and dining rooms for gathering, a well-equipped kitchen with breakfast nook, and a washer/dryer for your laundry needs. The sofa bed in the livingroom accommodates two guests. There are two off-street parking spaces. Route 24 is close to the house for easy access to anywhere in the Bay Area, but the property is set back and down enough to be surprisingly quiet. There is illuminated, level access from the street to the front door (one step up to the front landing); inside there are a few steps connecting different parts of the house.

Here, you can experience the leisurely pace and comfort of a place set apart to relax, enjoy the company of loved ones and good friends, reawaken the senses, and celebrate simple pleasures.

Come visit! We look forward to welcoming you.
