MODERN LOVE A mid-century home impeccably updated! Set in Upper Lakeshore on a quiet, tree-lined street, this modern beauty hits all the high notes. The street view is handsome and nicely landscaped; a banana palm and succulents strike a particularly California tone. Inside, a small foyer leads to a large, open living room. Simple and sophisticated, a big bank of windows with great outlooks onto the street make this space feel extra bright and spacious. A stone fireplace anchors the room, and at the other end, the dining area looks out onto tree-filled views. It's a chic and comfortable space, conducive to easy entertaining. The eat-in kitchen has a classic feel. High ceilings, nice architectural details and lots of light make this room the heart of the home. A side door leads out to either the front or back yards, and a corner desk by the window is a great place for a home office or homework spot. Tile floors, a glass subway tile backsplash, granite counters and high-end appliances bring style and comfort together effortlessly. A bedroom across the hall has an en suite bathroom and a wonderful built-in desk and cabinets. Up the stairs are two more bedrooms and a sleekly-designed shared bathroom. One bedroom has French doors out to the patio in back. The master bedroom has a slanted high ceiling, a door to the yard and lots of light and pleasing views from the windows. The yard is like an outdoor salon - slate tiles, built-in benches, tiered garden beds, horizontal fencing and a redwood deck create depth and lots of visual interest. It's a peaceful spot, lovingly landscaped. Downstairs, the family room is another happy surprise: carpeted, insulated and wired with a sound system, it works well as a media room or any number of uses. A wine cellar and extra storage are yet more bonuses. The charm factor and livability is high here. Add to that its superb location in the Lakeshore district, with its fabulous Crocker Highlands schools and proximity to Lakeshore Avenue shopping, the Farmer's Market and some of Oakland's best restaurants. This historic area is also minutes from Lake Merritt and affords easy accessibility to San Francisco by car or public transportation. A fresh and modern classic in an exemplary location, this is a home to relish.
