Mid-century grandeur on display in Oakland

World-class views, architectural pedigree and effortless indoor/ outdoor flow await at 3215 Burdeck Dr. in Oakland, prominently sitting atop a 1.35-acre lot.

“You enter through the iconic orange door and find yourself mesmerized by unobstructed sweeping Bay views, light-infused mid-century architecture and soaring decks facing the Bay,” said Anja Plowright of the Grubb Co., who is listing 3215 Burdeck Dr. with business partner Colette Ford for $2.395 million. “This luminous gem impresses with extra high ceilings, walls of windows, skylights and oversized sliding glass doors. The large oak studded hillside lot provides privacy and serenity while being close to the urban buzz.”

A level-in entry welcomes visitors to an open floor plan combining kitchen, dining and a living area, as well as a spacious primary suite with a sitting room or office. The wide and open staircase descends to the large family room with its own deck and fireplace, along with three additional bedrooms.

The floor plan is made even more flexible by having a separate entrance and hookups for a second kitchen on the lower

level. Updated features include radiant floor heat, well maintained temperature from the insulating foam roof, an integrated electric sunshade system and an abundance of storage.

Originally built in 1955 by well-known California architect Roger Lee, the home was meticulously renovated and expanded
