5720 Nottingham Dr, Oakland, CA 94611

This home represents the perfect combination of open space to gather and entertain plus wonderful, private, and separate spaces to work, retreat and regroup...exactly what we need in the newfound ”work from home” environment. This exquisite urban retreat was completely rebuilt and expanded in 2016/17 to a 3315 sq ft home plus a two-car detached garage with storage room, which could be designated as a separate address, adding tremendous value to this property. The original structure, which has been completely replaced, was an 800 sq ft cottage built in the 1920s. What exists today is an expansive new structure with fabulous architecture and design sited on a large upslope lot with access from both top and bottom. The mature trees provide privacy, beautiful greenery, and tranquility, while a new upper level deck provides a lovely view of the hillside as the sun goes down and the lights come on. Montclair is one of Oakland's favorite neighborhoods with its "country in the city" vibe. It is anchored by the Village, convenient to the freeway and only two stop lights to San Francisco, and some of Oakland's favorite grammar schools. This beautiful and modern property is removed enough from the urban madness, yet utterly convenient to life's demands. Walking to the Thornhill Coffee House is a daily pleasure!
