1999 Tunnel Rd, Oakland, CA 94705

Cathy and Fred Weber were smitten with 1999 Tunnel Road. They loved the verdant views and open space that embraced them. They felt insulated but were moments from highways and could easily navigate to San Francisco or Walnut Creek. It's easy to forget you are in a city when you are so close to Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve and can spy deer, quail, turkeys and other wildlife, all while relaxing in a luxurious home with 50+ windows and doors. Richard Janzen, a notable Bay Area architect, designed 1999 Tunnel to combine the Arts and Crafts era with a modern sensibility. This property has easy accessibility, with gentle stairs to 2 separate entrances, and a wonderful place for an art collection. Many of the Weber's guests have even commented that the welcoming hallway reminded them of Hearst Castle. Some houses are pretty to look at, while others are made for living.
