Perched on a Montclair hilltop with panoramic bridge, bay, city and canyon views, 6630 Glen Oaks Way is an eclectic, custom-built 5BD/4.5BA Contemporary compound with extraordinary architectural details, full service 1BD/1BA in-law apartment with private entrance, detached home office, and multilevel decks and level, inspiring garden areas.

Berkeley builder Jerry Boddum originally built this home for his family and incorporated reclaimed materials such as wood-framed bay windows, burnished wood floors and wainscoting, rustic and mid-century tiles, and loft beds with copper railing. The result is a remarkable architectural aesthetic, combining modern construction with vintage charm.

The home’s versatile floor plan includes 2846 sq ft of living space with a sunken living room, expansive family room, spacious owner’s suite, and three bedrooms on one level. Beautifully situated, the home enjoys views of the SF skyline, Golden Gate and Bay Bridges to the west and canyon views to the east. Tucked away in a tranquil neighborhood, the home is also near parks, coveted schools, and Montclair Village amenities.

The sunken living room is a beautiful display of woodwork with its vaulted wood ceiling, gleaming expanse of hardwood floors, and massive wood fireplace with decorative tile. Majestic oaks surround the wide bay windows, creating the feel of a giant treehouse.

The stylish kitchen blends beautiful wood cabinetry, classic tile countertops, a vintage Chambers cooktop with griddle, and leaded casement windows with a modern Themador hood, built-in dual ovens, Bosch dishwasher, and a wood-framed greenhouse window with a sweeping view of the bay. Beneath a vaulted beamed ceiling, the adjacent dining room enjoys two oversized picture windows overlooking the bay.

Framed by a wide bay window overlooking the hills, the owner’s suite has access to a private railed deck - a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening contemplation of the stars. The adjoining bath is an eclectic blend of unique materials, featuring rustic floor tiles, vintage wainscoting, a deep tile-topped vanity beneath distinctive sconces, and a splendid walk-in shower of intricately patterned tile.

Also on the lower level, a studio in-law or guest apartment with a private entrance is a light-filled space with corner windows overlooking the bay. Glass doors open onto a private brick patio beneath an arbor covered with trailing vines of wisteria. To the rear, French doors open onto a small back deck screened by trees.

On the upstairs landing, sun pours through a custom window created by Sausalito artist Rosalis. Each of three generous bedrooms on the upper level enjoys unique whimsical features - two with loft sleeping spaces and windows on the bay and one with a bay window on the hills and floor-to-ceiling shelves with a library-style ladder. The bedrooms share a huge bath with rustic hexagonal floor tile, vaulted beamed ceiling, shower over tub beneath a skylight, a tile vanity, and large linen closet for storage.

Ideally situated in a private, tranquil neighborhood near Roberts Regional Recreation Area and Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, the home is also just moments from convenient Montclair Village with its independent shops and restaurants, weekly farmers market, annual street fairs and jazz festival.
