A slice of European living in the Montclair Hills awaits you. Through the grape stake wooden gate, lovely private gardens with the scent of sweet flowers in bloom and a lush green lawn greet you. Inside, old-world charm blends seamlessly with a stylish kitchen and baths, creating a private escape from the outside world.
Natural light streams through the expansive storybook windows in the living and dining rooms, offering glorious views of the Bay and sunsets that are beyond compare. This inviting space epitomizes the beauty of 1940's architecture, featuring a high-pitched ceiling, a Juliette balcony, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A sun-filled kitchen opens to the dining room, showcasing Bay and city views. This is the heart of the home, where friends gather and entertaining is a delight.
The main house includes three bedrooms and two freshly renovated baths, including an expansive and private primary suite complete with a romantic brick patio—the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee while overlooking the hillsides and picking an apple from the tree. The enchanting backyard, with its blooming gardens, vegetables, and spacious verdant lawns surrounded by shade trees, offers a slice of serenity and privacy—ideal for summer evenings, sunset dinners, or days of play.
For today's lifestyle needs, don’t miss the detached cottage with a full bathroom—a versatile space desired by many. Just minutes from Montclair Village, hiking and biking trails, and with easy freeway access, this home is perfectly situated. So relax, have a glass of wine, watch the hawks soar and the butterflies flutter, and settle in. You are home!

Neighborhood
∎
Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese. A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
