Montclair four-bedroom built in 2003 offers grand proportions and contemporary conveniences.
Grand proportions and contemporary conveniences await right down the road from Shepherd Canyon Park in Oakland. The modern fourbedroom is conveniently located along the Montclair Railroad Trail, a path that leads directly to Montclair Village.
“It’s a newer construction home with a really generous family room and living room, and the master bedroom suite has a huge walk-in closet,” said Carrie McAlister of the Grubb Co., who is listing 6545 Shepherd Canyon Road for $1.295 million. “It has the stuff you don’t find in the older construction homes out here.”
The home opens to a spacious living room with a vaulted ceiling and inlaid hardwood flooring. A massive fireplace anchors the room as a wood staircase borders the
back wall. Recessed lighting illuminates the room as natural light pours through picture windows that frame garden views.
A large window also adorns the dining room, a broad space in between the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is a contemporary space with dual ovens, stone counters and custom cabinetry. It revolves around an island with a prep sink and integrated cooktop. There’s also a peninsula counter that serves as a breakfast bar. A greenhouse window behind the main sink completes the kitchen.
The kitchen looks into a family room finished with an angled gas fireplace and tile floor. Rectangular and an arched clerestory windows accompany a series of picture windows and the sliding glass door that opens to the backyard.
A redwood deck stretches below the home. The large deck offers a pair of sitting areas and descends to an Lshaped garden with a turf lawn. A tall fence and mature trees afford plenty of privacy to the yard that’s also accessed by a staircase at street level.
