6821 Aitken Dr. Oakland, CA

Description

Welcome to this quintessential mid-century contemporary nestled in the tranquil hills of Montclair. Popular for its wooded, back-to-nature amenities, this home’s location will not disappoint. Upon entering one will be immediately drawn to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the main living area. Beautifully refinished floors visually connect the entertainment spaces while the exposed-beam ceilings are perfectly aligned to the outdoor eaves for dramatic continuity. A convenient slider allows for indoor-outdoor entertaining and a place to relax, converse, and enjoy a birds-eye view of the tranquil setting below. With one bedroom on the main level, it is an ideal setup for overnight guests or separate office while the lower level offers two generous-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom has three full-sized, cedar-lined closets and pretty verdant views off a private deck. Across the way is another expansive bedroom with wall-to-wall built-in shelves for books & other collectibles. It also enjoys its own deck getaway. Vintage tile and light fixture in the full bath pay homage to the mid-century era and is easily accessible to both bedrooms. A separate laundry room with a soaking sink & hanging clothes rack complete this lower level. Besides the three decks, one can meander and explore the home’s extensive backyard. Unfenced, natural and extending from Aitken to Moore Drive, it is almost like having a park trail in your own backyard. Unwind, as you stroll under a canopy of mature trees enjoying camellias at the cusp of bloom & lush green ferns along the way. From this home’s location, you are minutes from hiking & biking trails, picnic areas, vibrant Montclair Village with quaint eateries & stores, a weekly farmer’s market, and easy access to Highway 13. A real get away at home!
