Perched in the heart of Upper Rockridge, this Mid-Century Modern gem perfectly balances architectural integrity with a sophisticated 2026 refresh. Spanning 2,026 square feet of expertly designed living space, the home welcomes you with a street level two-car garage and just a few steps down, the entry leads into an expansive main floor designed for effortless, single-level living where original character shines alongside modern updates, including gleaming refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and a new roof. The heart of the home is defined by its seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Large expanses of glass draw the eye through the living spaces toward the lush surroundings, creating the bright and airy atmosphere Mid-Century enthusiasts treasure. The dining area opens directly to a charming balcony, the perfect spot to enjoy the sunrise while watching the deer roam the nearby ridge. The spacious primary bedroom serves as a true retreat, featuring an en-suite bath, ample closet space, and direct access to a private deck overlooking the verdant Oakland hills. The lower level includes an additional bedroom and full bath, along with a dedicated office, a large secondary living area, and abundant storage and features its own separate entry and stairs leading down to Ostrander Street, providing independent access toward Ostrander Park. Whether you are cozying up by the wood-burning fireplace or hosting on the large front patio, the home feels both grand and intimate. One of the property's most standout features is the impressive 8,645-square-foot lot. This expansive, private parcel uniquely spans the distance between Romany and Ostrander Roads, offering a sense of seclusion and space that is rare for the area. The side and rear yards provide a lush, private canvas for gardening, play, or simply soaking in the fresh air. The location is truly unparalleled. You are just one block from the local favorites at the Village Market and Nursery and the Terrace Cafe, and only a stone's throw from the extremely popular Hillcrest Elementary K-8 School. Surrounded by stunning architecture and scenic views, this home offers a sense of retreat and connection. Commuting and exploring are a breeze with the shops, restaurants and Rockridge BART station nearby, along with quick access to Highways 13 and 24. This is a rare opportunity to own a well maintained piece of Mid-Century design on a significant, private lot in one of Oakland's most coveted enclaves.
