Whoever said “the best views of San Francisco are from Oakland” had this Glen Highlands home in mind. Enter through a foyer under an elevated ceiling. The distinctive living room sits nearby, with a spacious outside deck, fireplace and spectacular views of SF, Marin and the Bay. The open kitchen, with elite appliances, lies to the other side of the main level, leading to the spacious family room, with another fireplace and deck access. Choose from 2 rooms to dine. The octagonal breakfast nook easily seats 6-8 under an elevated ceiling. Alternatively, dine nearby in the formal dining room, which offers deck access and views. Work from home is easy in the oversized office near the foyer. One of the 6 bedrooms is on the main floor, under elevated ceilings, with SF views. Descend a spiral staircase to reach the other 5. The main bedroom is more than 300 sq ft, with access to a terrace and more SF views. The other bedrooms, also large, lie down a hall, each with views of SF or Upper Rockridge; 2 enjoy deck access. The lower level offers two venues for relaxation: a spacious rec room and a theater. The 3-car garage permits home access through a spacious mud/laundry room. Storage space abounds. One may access the 13 and 24 freeways quickly, leading to SF and the rest of the Bay Area.
