Updated Upper Rockridge Mid-Century

Less than a mile from the Montclair Village shops, restaurants and recreational facilities and close to the Village Market is this updated Mid-Century in highly desirable Upper Rockridge. Situated on a third-acre lot, this residence enjoys spectacular canyon views from nearly every room and a rear terrace that spans the entire structure. Explore the setting at a variety of vantage points from the multiple decks, gardens, and outdoor spaces. Entertain in style in the open floorplan on the main level and keep your household close at night with all the bedrooms together on the lower floor.

Below the blooming wisteria, the gated front entrance opens to a front porch and pergola, perfect for those summer evenings under the stars. Light random plank hardwood floors grace the living and dining rooms where you can gaze at the soothing vistas. The updated chef’s kitchen is outfitted with a Thermador professional four-burner gas range and dishwasher, a Bosch French door refrigerator, deep chef’s sink and bay window with built-in seat overlooking the front grounds. A powder room nearby is available for guests.

On the lower level are three bedrooms and two baths including a private primary suite with large walk-in closet and an updated bath with double vanity, heated floors and linen closet. The suite opens to a terrace overlooking the expansive grounds and valley beyond. The laundry and utility room is conveniently located on this floor.

The lush rear gardens include a lawn for a game of catch, prolific citrus tree and a variety of outdoor areas that could be used for entertaining, relaxation and play. There is plenty of room to create your edible garden or urban farm. A two-car garage completes the residence.

At just over two miles to Rockridge BART, close to public transit and freeway access, you can be on your way in minutes to your next Bay Area destination. With UC Berkeley and the College Avenue cafes nearby, this location can’t be beat.
