A HOUSE LIKE NO OTHER - NEW PRICE!! This 1914 Crocker Highlands Craftsman has a handsome street presence - solid lines, and nicely landscaped with succulents, iris and a giant bird of paradise. Inside, in addition to the five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms and nearly 4000 square feet, it has one surprise after another. A large, open entryway is the perfect welcome. Inlaid hardwood floors, high ceilings, architectural framing and lots of light give these rooms a grand and gracious feel. The dining room has fine Craftsman built-ins and great windows, and at one end are French doors opening onto a glassed-in sitting room that extends the width of the house. Beyond that is a full deck overlooking the lush back yard with an amazing view of the Piedmont/Montclair hills. A corner office with a full bath has a bay window and a door to the deck. The eat-in kitchen has a breakfast counter, stainless sink and appliances, marbled quartz counters, two pantries and a fantastic view from the sink. The flow between these rooms and the deck make for fabulous indoor/outdoor entertaining. At the top of the stairs is a huge landing, which is the hub to four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The bedrooms are all large, with custom closets, and each one has a different yet stunning view. They share a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and shower. The master bedroom features an en suite bath with vintage tub and tiles, and an anteroom with a huge mirrored closet. This deluxe bedroom has beamed ceilings, a skylight, recessed lighting and bay windows with window seats on either end. On the top floor there is yet another delight: an exquisite family/media room with a spectacular framed view of downtown Oakland, two bridges, the SF skyline and the Marin hills. A pitched gabled ceiling and classic moldings are some of the architectural highlights here. A convenient half-bath is in the hallway. This space works equally well as a warm place to gather, or as a private refuge. Lastly, the ground floor has a huge au pair suite with a separate entrance. This large, flexible space has a lounging area, a small nook for dining, a private balcony, a luxurious bathroom with spa tub and shower, and a sunny bedroom with an outside deck. The lower level also includes a large storage area and the driveway accommodates one car of off street parking. This wonderfully-situated home is just two blocks to the shops in the vibrant Lakeshore District, home to the well-loved and acclaimed Farmer's Market, many of Oakland's best restaurants, (both fine and casual), and family-friendly parks, all within easy walking distance. This historic area is also minutes from Lake Merritt and affords easy accessibility to San Francisco by car or public transportation. This is a rare find, indeed, full of lovely details at every turn, and magnificent views throughout.
