Sun-filled hillside home at the gateway to the Oakland Hills. This updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a rare blend of character and convenience, moments from Highway 580, BART, Montclair Village, and downtown Oakland, with an easy commute to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Rich engineered hardwood floors flow through the open living, dining, and kitchen, while the living room is anchored by a porcelain-surround fireplace and bathed in generous natural light. The updated kitchen features ample cabinetry and a thoughtful layout that opens directly to the family room, where sliding doors lead to the terraced garden — designed for indoor-outdoor living and perfect for entertaining or quiet morning coffee. Four bedrooms and two baths across approximately 1,526 square feet include a serene primary retreat and a flexible lower-level bedroom, ideal as a home office, gym, studio, or guest suite. Every room is filled with the warmth this neighborhood is known for. The terraced backyard is a true Oakland treasure — a curated, edible landscape featuring banana, dragon fruit, pineapple guava, and loquat. Fragrant rosemary and bay leaf. Move-in-ready throughout: newer roof, central air, updated HVAC, owned solar with grid-tied battery backup, and EV charging. Fully sewer-lateral and sidewalk compliant, peace of mind from day one. Set in the welcoming Leona Heights neighborhood, known for its tree-lined streets, friendly community feel, and easy access to the trails. Enjoy a quick 4-minute drive to the wide, scenic creekside paths of the Leona Canyon Open Space Preserve, or head just minutes north to Montclair Village to access the beautifully paved, redwood-lined Montclair Railroad Trail. This is a rare offering at the entrance to the Oakland Hills. Character, convenience, and a remarkable garden, all in one.
