Beautiful English Tudor in Redwood Heights Welcome to 3612 Monterey Boulevard, Oakland. Just off Redwood Road, this location proves to be great for commuting as there is easy access to either Highway 580 or Highway 13. As you probably know, this neighborhood is highly desired, in part because of Redwood Elementary School. In addition, it is close to shopping in the Laurel or Montclair Districts and to various colleges and parks. Do use the appropriate buttons on this website to obtain additional information about the neighborhood. Redwood Heights Improvement Association was formed more than sixty years ago and continues to be a positive influence in keeping the neighborhood so inviting. One button to the left will take you to their website www.redwoodheights.org. That site will also provide links to a number of other local resources. Now, lets talk about this house. Thank you for jotting down this website address from the sign rider or noting it on the flyer. I do hope this "tour" will give you a better idea of what is in store for you when you arrange to come and see the property. Built in 1930, this home has classic English Tudor lines of the high pitched roof and maintains many of the architectural features of that era. But this owner has completed a number of upgrades that will make your ownership more pleasant. Seismic retrofits - bolting to the foundation and installing shearwall panels - have been completed. Electrical upgrades were important - have you noticed that most homes of this age just don't have adequate electrical outlets? And with the major remodel of the bathroom (walls were taken down to the studs) and kitchen, the plumbing was changed to copper lines. The deck and yard is a "plus" for this home. The deck of approximately 150 square feet is constructed of redwood rails, benches, steps and planter boxes,but mahogany decking. What beautiful plantings along the curved pathway leading to that quiet little spot to relax next to the bubbling fountain!
