Behind the straightforward shingle sheathing, this home packs tremendous value. The builder of 3255 Monterey Blvd. optimized two elements: The site’s fabulous South Bay view, and its tremendous functionality for a larger household.

First, the view. Imagine coming across a tranquil and calming full South Bay view in each room of your home. This home has it. Big west-facing windows and skylights work overtime to bring the Bay view—and famous East Bay sunshine—into the home. Serve dinner with a Bay view as a backdrop in either the dining room or on the lower deck. Make a habit of watching the glorious sunsets. Or just daydream about the ships and sailboats in the Bay.

Then, the functionality. The floorplan of this home works overtime to make your complex life work smoothly. The public rooms on the main floor offer great open flow, and include both a formal living room and a family room easy to oversee from the central kitchen. Upstairs are the master bedroom suite, and a second large bedroom and bath, all with new hardwood floors. Separated nicely on the lower floor are another family room, and three additional bedrooms along with the home’s third bath. (Two people can use each bath at the same time!) Perhaps the upstairs rooms are his-and-her offices, with sleeping quarters downstairs? Or parents enjoy privacy and a tucked-away office upstairs, while children sleep downstairs, perhaps with computers housed in the central common room? The home is also perfect for multi-generational households. Plenty of storage in large closets, the two-car garage, and a large roughed-in area.

Finally, the location. 3255 Monterey Blvd. is tucked between Montclair and Redwood Heights, with super-convenient access to Route 13, and to Oakland/Berkeley/San Francisco as well as to San Ramon/Pleasanton/Livermore. Near Laurel District shops, excellent public and private schools, the Redwood Heights Rec Center, Jordan Park, Joaquin Miller, Roberts Regional and Redwood Parks, and the Chabot Space and Science Center. It’s a community with a listserve, and annual yard sale, ice cream party, and summer picnic traditions. Come take a look!

Open houses scheduled for 5/12-13 and 5/19-20.
