Rockridge, Oakland

The jaunty rooster sitting atop the tiled roof welcomes you into the gracious foyer of this grand Mediterranean 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. It possesses all the elegance of its original 1925 design and construction—an era of living well and entertaining in style. A Juliet balcony off a curving staircase offers the best vantage point overlooking the vaulted living room that can hold a grand piano and still has plenty of room for dancing. Another balcony wraps around to the dining room with views overlooking the garden and a history of lively dinner parties. But no matter how well the table is set, everyone will gravitate towards the gourmand’s kitchen featured on the inaugural Rockridge Kitchen tour. A Subzero fridge holds all the provisions for a fancy meal or grilling on the deck. For quieter moments, a breakfast nook adjoins the kitchen and leads to a private patio, the perfect place for morning coffee and birdsong. Two bedrooms on the main floor adjoin a perfectly preserved Art Deco green-tiled bathroom while the primary bedroom and en suite bath have the entire second floor complete with views of the morning sun rising over the hills. A fourth bedroom and third bath on the lower level access the garden directly, as well as a full height basement that currently houses a workshop and wall of wine racks—just one more hint of how well one could live in this Rockridge treasure!
