1060 Sunnyhills Rd, Oakland, CA 94610

Architectural elements original to this 1928 home endow it with enduring appeal, and a recent renovation imparts elegant, up-to-date form and function. A thorough kitchen and multiple-bathroom remodel complement and elevate the home's character. In conjunction, the home was reconfigured to expand spaces, create a gracious flow between them, and upgrade the infrastructure. The main floor now embodies an airy circular arrangement and multiple connections to flagstone patios designed for gathering and dining, vibrant landscaping, and level lawn. Comprising two floors, it features four bedrooms, including an expansive master suite, and three full bathrooms. Nestled in Crocker Highlands, picturesque Sunnyhills Road is graced with an array of architectural showpieces, 1060 among them. Within close proximity lie highly rated schools, access to transportation, and everyday conveniences.Tudor architectural facets embellish the exterior, including steeply pitched roof gables, ribbons of narrow windows plus a dormer window, and a distinctive quoin-outlined arched entry. Well suited to the home's period sensibility, tiered landscaping emanates from it, marked by colorful abundance and stacked stonewalls that add timeless charm. Preservation and renovation converge seamlessly throughout the interior, where lustrous hardwood floors and natural light generate a luminous effect. The living room, outlined by a focal-point fireplace and garden-outlook windows on three sides, includes French doors to the patio and garden beyond it. As a result of the renovation, the room features multiple interior openings, maximizing the flow to and from it. A wide opening from the formal dining room connects to the eat-in kitchen, which reveals all-new components with a classic aspect. Crisp-white custom cabinetry sports vintage-effect cup pulls; pewter-hued granite countertops tie visually to stainless appliances and meet subway-tile backsplashes; a peninsula offers prep space and bar seating. Another patio adjoins the kitchen, offering an ideal outdoor-dining spot.An enlarged bedroom on the main floor overlooks the back garden and serves home-office and guest-room purposes well. Adjacent, a remodeled full bathroom showcases marble and stone mosaic tile evocative of masterworks by Klimpt. The remaining three bedrooms occupy the second floor, ringing a spacious landing. Incorporating considerable living and storage space, the master suite contains closets within the bedroom chamber, which flank a windowed alcove, as well as closets within a private hallway leading to the renovated spa bathroom. Expressing vintage virtues, the master bath is adorned with Carrara marble counters topping a dual-sink vanity and a tile scheme that melds marble, glass, and ceramic in a stylized, spacious shower. Also reflecting period allure, the hall bathroom contains a claw-foot tub surrounded by wainscoting-enhanced walls. It serves two radiant bedrooms. In addition to a new second-floor laundry room, upgrades to the home's infrastructure include new electrical wiring and outlets as well as dual-pane windows. Plentiful storage space includes a garage with convenient access to the kitchen entry.
