The story
This Upper Rockridge home proves that the best views of San Francisco are from Oakland. From 2 of the home’s levels, one surveys the City, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate and southern Marin. Panoramic living-room windows take in the views. The dining room seats 8. Cherry hardwoods adorn the floors. The kitchen, breakfast room and family room share an open, light-filled space. The kitchen is built for professional cooking, with elite appliances and fixtures, and generous counter space. Work from home is a pleasure in the adjoining office. Upstairs, the primary suite offers even-better views, and a private terrace. The bath has heated floors, a skylight, double vanity, and spa tub and shower. Two more bedrooms on this level each have their own en-suite baths, and a 4th bedroom on the main floor is ideal for guests. The lower level holds a 5th bedroom that equally could be configured as a den or rec/media room. The oversized garage and driveway make parking easy. The house is wired for modern living: a server integrated with Apple HomeKit; ceiling speakers; an Ecobee thermostat; solar panels with a 13 kWh SunPower battery; and a BMW EV charger. Sheridan Road, arguably the premier venue in Upper Rockridge, is a quiet, tree-lined street a short drive to College Avenue’s cafés and markets. Nearby schools include Hillcrest, the neighborhood K-8 and one of Oakland’s best public schools, and premier private schools are close by. Views: Downtown
