About this property
Beautiful Rockridge Craftsman Home with Quiet Garden
This spacious and light-filled classic Craftsman home in the Rockridge area of Oakland has five bedrooms and three baths in 2300 square feet, plus a garden and patio for outdoor dining.
The ground floor has a large sunny living room, formal dining room (both with warm wood paneling), a large eat-in modern gourmet kitchen, a garden-view sun room/breakfast room opening through French doors onto the deck ard back yard, modern washer and dryer, and a spacious bedroom suite with private bath. This suite contains a large-screen TV and can also be used as a media room if not needed for a bedroom (see photos). The sofa bed is a comfortable queen-size gel mattress with European topper.
On the second floor are three sleeping options: A large master bedroom suite with a king-size bed and en-suite luxury bath, a second bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, a sun room with a daybed and a beautiful view of San Francisco and the western sky. The second floor shared bathroom has both a walk-in shower and relaxing Japanese soaking tub. The third floor sleeping loft, with a warm tree-house feel, is accessible by Japanese ladder from the second-floor landing (and requires a fairly nimble person willing to climb there!), contains a double futon bed with a view of the lights of San Francisco and the Bay--a magical tree-house like space.
The back yard has a deck and small patio table right off the kitchen, plus a large patio a few steps lower with a table that seats six. The garden is sunny and quiet, with multiple levels for reading and entertaining. There is plenty of street parking. High-speed wifi is available throughout the house.
Rockridge is one of the most desired neighborhoods of the East Bay, lined with charming homes, many dating from the Arts & Crafts era. Bustling College Avenue is a four-block walk away along tree-lined streets, offering some of the East Bay’s most interesting shops and finest restaurants (Oliveto’s, A16, A Coté).
The Rockridge BART station is six blocks away, meaning that downtown San Francisco is accessible by comfortable high-speed public transportation in just 25 minutes. The UC-Berkeley campus is 1-1/2 miles away. There is easy freeway access six blocks away, leading to San Francisco, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, and Marin County. Multiple hiking trails in the redwoods or along the crest of the East Bay hills are within a 10-minute drive.
Guests often comment on the calm and nurturing environment of the home itself, the charming neighborhood, and friendly neighbors. This home offers the best of San Francisco Bay Area living.

What makes this property unique
The photos will tell you what we love about this home--it is warm and sunny, with beautiful woodwork and character, and filled with the art work we have collected in our travels around the world. The garden is a wonderful quiet place to relax. Our home is centrally located for walking to some of the best restaurants in the East Bay, and also has a BART station nearby, or easy freeway access to San Francisco.
