Set beautifully against open space and framed by extraordinary Bay views, this red tile-roofed Mediterranean retreat offers the rare feeling of being away while still deeply connected to the best of the East Bay.

Perched with uninterrupted 180-degree outlooks, the home captures sweeping views from the Estuary and Port of Oakland to Downtown Oakland, the Bay Bridge, San Francisco skyline, Treasure Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, and Tiburon. Every west-facing room frames the landscape, bringing the Bay, sky, and evening light into daily life.

Built in the 1930s and thoughtfully updated for modern resort-style living, the home pairs timeless character with meaningful improvements. Hand-hewn beams, blacksmith-crafted door hardware, white oak floors, and a Dutch front door preserve its historic soul, while updated foundations, windows, electrical, plumbing, kitchen, and baths bring comfort and ease. A gracious front approach leads past mature Japanese maples to the entry, watched over by a covered balcony.

The main level is designed for effortless connection and indoor-outdoor living. An updated chef’s kitchen with honed granite countertops and stainless steel appliances flows to a large dining room and generous living room, all opening to a substantial heavy-timber view deck with iron railings. It is an ideal setting for morning coffee, golden-hour dinners, and relaxed entertaining against the full sweep of the Bay.

Below, a brick auto court leads to a broad, flat lawn bordered by an orchard of fruit trees, including citrus, pear, apple, loquat, and fig. A pair of palms marks the private driveway to the lower garage, adding to the property’s quiet resort-like arrival.

The floor plan offers elegance, flexibility, and room for real life. The main level includes an office or bedroom, a powder room, and an ensuite bedroom with its own entrance and laundry hookups — ideal for guests, an au pair, nanny, or a fortunate teen. Upstairs, a spacious landing connects the primary suite with three additional bedrooms. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and bathroom with natural stone finishes and a jacuzzi tub. Two large bedrooms, a third full bathroom with both hall and ensuite access, and an additional office or guest room complete the upper level.

Beautifully sited, richly detailed, and designed for relaxed everyday living, this is a true retreat — a home meant to be enjoyed, shared, and lived in for years to come.
