Gorgeously situated near the top of Colton Boulevard sits #6614, an enchanting 3+BD/2BA traditional home in an extraordinarily idyllic setting, featuring bay and bridge views, beautifully planted front and back gardens with outdoor spa and putting green, multiple outdoor terraces, and charming vintage-style common spaces. Nestled in and among lush plantings, verdant lawns, and soaring trees, this lovely urban oasis just moments from Montclair Village offers easy access to several of the East Bay’s best-loved parks and open spaces.
Before you even step inside, you will fall in love with this 2,121 square foot home’s phenomenal setting, at once wooded and open, and with the wonderful way it nestles on its gently sloping lot. Meandering through the front garden from the quiet street, you will pass a bountiful Meyer lemon tree and ample lawns and shrubs to your left and glimpse the tall and gently swaying trees surrounding the house just ahead. Here and there, neighboring rooftops are visible in and amongst the green. It is easy to forget that you are just moments from the heart of the city.
Once inside, you will discover a series of rooms at once quiet and inviting. The spacious living and dining areas feature original random-plank hardwood floors, built-in shelves, a stately wood-burning fireplace, and two terraces with views. Both rooms overlook the ultra-charming rear garden area and nearby rooftops, with the captivating backdrop of trees and bay just beyond.
In addition to the living and dining areas, the ground level offers the first of three bedrooms, a full hall bath, and the well-designed breakfast nook and chef’s kitchen, which features a Bosch dishwasher and Viking refrigerator and six-burner gas range. Upstairs, you will find two light-filled bedrooms with views and a shared hall bath.
This home also boasts a multi-purpose lower level with bonus room and garden access. On the garden level, you will find laundry and storage space in addition to the versatile finished bonus room, which is perfect for use as a family media area or for housing guests. The peaceful and private rear garden boasts a beautifully situated hot tub and spacious putting green that could easily be converted into a lawn or additional patio or garden play space.
