35 bay forest court

Tucked into a private cul-de-sac in Oakland Hills' coveted Merriewood neighborhood, this sophisticated 3-story home is minutes from Montclair Village, College Avenue, and Sibley Volcanic Preserve, with a 5-minute drive to Highways 24 and 13. Light-filled and thoughtfully appointed, it's the kind of home that's genuinely hard to come by. Abundant windows on every level capture sweeping views of the Bay, city, and surrounding hills, a constant reminder of just how special this setting is. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with premium Dacor and Bosch appliances, built for the home cook who takes it seriously. The open layout flows naturally between living and dining spaces, equally suited to quiet weeknight dinners and effortless entertaining. The primary suite, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a dedicated office all share one level, a smart, functional layout that keeps daily life easy and everything close at hand. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, with a cozy fireplace, generous proportions, and those same Bay views. The office, wired for continuous Wi-Fi, rounds out the level for anyone working from home. This home is fully dialed in for modern living: solar power, two Tesla Powerwalls, and an EV charger handle your energy needs efficiently, while whole-house audio sets the mood in every room. The lower level is where the home truly surprises. A large, open room with an updated full bath, wine bar and fridge, and theater wiring makes it an entertainer's dream, or a self-contained in-law suite or ADU waiting to happen.
