6044 Harbord Dr, Oakland

This elegant mid-century home, tucked on the Piedmont side of Montclair, comes on the market for the first time in 50+ years. New tile, carpet, paint, and refinished hardwoods give the home's classic lines a contemporary and elegant feel. Outdoor entertainment is easy, both in the back yard (surrounded by trees and flowers) and on the sunny deck to the front. Both entertainment areas offer Bay views. The principal floor includes three bedrooms in one wing. The spacious principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom (with separate Jacuzzi and shower) and ample closet space, and skylights admit cheery morning sun. The other wing includes the well-appointed kitchen, and the adjacent dining room surveys the elegant living room below. That room, under a high wood-beamed ceiling, offers a large, wood-burning fireplace to ward off winter chill. A fourth bedroom and bathroom sit further below. The home offers pastoral tranquility and yet proximity to Piedmont, Rockridge, and East Bay amenities.
