Situated on one of Montclair's nicest streets - a wooded cul-de-sac - this spacious home provides the freedom of relaxed country life while being a few minutes drive to the Village, to the dog- and people-friendly Montclair Railroad Trail, as well as ready access to transport networks connecting to the entire Bay Area.  Modeled on the home that he built for himself, this Tom Lowe design has an innovative and efficient floor plan - one that foresaw the contemporary liking for open living space, light and outdoor access. The exterior is resawn Redwood surfaced plywood - a high quality material no longer made. A wall of original walnut paneling adds style to the main floor. In addition to the friendly, usable, secure pleasures of the location, the house provides space galore. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family room, tons of storage, big decks, light and air! As easy to envision a lively boisterous life here as a tranquil, contemplative retreat to nature. Hawks do make lazy circles in the sky! Rufous sided towhees land on the deck railing and a family of deer roam the vicinity. This home combines many special characteristics.
