3BR Sunny French-Mediterranean with Tree Views This 1920s home tucked into the Oakland Hills was fully renovated, expanded, and retrofitted in 2004 to modernize the structure while preserving its original charm. The 3BR, 2.5 bath house features traditional oak floors, vaulted ceilings on both levels, its original fireplace with iconic Batchdelder hand-crafted tiles, large casement windows on all sides for a feeling of air, space, and light; and all three bedrooms located on a single, upper floor. The kitchen was refreshed in April 2019 with new cabinetry and energy-efficient appliances, and the entire house is supported by an on-demand hot water heating system. The beautifully landscaped yard is a serene setting for relaxation and dining al fresco, and the terraced gardens will be a delight for any resident with a green thumb. The original garage is converted to a finished studio/workshop space with separate office, yet room was preserved to ensure plenty of storage. There s also off-street driveway parking for two cars, and an attic for additional storage.
