Escape to Your Own Private Retreat: This two bedroom one bath home with bonus room is the perfect getaway in the city. As you climb the flagstone steps you are transported away from the hustle of the East Bay and into a tranquil natural setting. Feel your shoulders drop as you take in this private sanctuary in the Oakland Hills. Bird songs replace car horns. And yet you're only a few minutes from the 13 freeway giving you ultimate flexibility. Beautifully updated, the kitchen and living room with cozy fireplace beckon you in. There are not one but two expansive private decks that extend the home's footprint and offer ideal indoor outdoor living. The lot which is lush and deep reaching all the way to the next street offers you many options. Expand the current garden to create your own farm-to-table experience. Or build an additional space to keep your extended loved ones close. It's up to you. Serenity surrounds you. You may never want to leave.
