670 Hiller Dr, Oakland, CA 94618

This contemporary Hiller Highlands house lives like a supermodel: long, lean and glamorous, with stunning views to further accentuate its beauty. The custom built hillside home was designed by MacCracken Architects, with a serene and sophisticated aesthetic defined by an open floor plan, clean lines, and a neutral color palette. The complementary yin yang -- large expanses of glass allowing breathtaking views balanced with spaces designed for privacy -- creates a unique retreat in Oakland that manages to be both streamlined and warm, luxe and inviting all at the same time. A soaring foyer yields to the expansive main floor, where ingenious shoji doors seamlessly connect rooms with flexibility and flow. Clean, minimal aesthetics are achieved by combining slate and wood floors throughout. High-end gourmet appliances (including a new Sub Zero refrigerator and Miele coffee system) and streamlined design with plenty of hidden storage create a timeless yet modern kitchen.
