1 Hillwood Place, Oakland

SOLD with multiple offers for $2,200,000. This rare Crocker Highlands Estate is deceptively tucked away at the end of one of the neighborhood’s most coveted cul-de-sacs. Step inside and you are transported into a truly extraordinary private aerie, high above the treetops. The expansive main floor offers bright, airy formal spaces that flow effortlessly through to the eat-in chef’s kitchen and bonus nook, boasting spectacular Travertine floors, warm wood trim and gleaming finishes throughout. Ascend a grand staircase lined with leaded glass windows to reach 5 generously-sized bedrooms, including a huge master suite with stunning views over Crocker Highlands, and an office with French doors opening onto a wisteria-draped rooftop deck. Two additional lower level suites – each on its own floor and with its own separate entrance - are meticulously appointed with kitchens, full baths, a large sunny deck, and direct garden access. A third detached studio space located in the garden also has its own deck with views of the forested canyon below… it is largely unfinished and ready for your inspiration! The garden itself is a private wooded wonderland graced with diverse mature plantings, a stunningly beautiful oak tree, and gently terraced patio spaces that surprise and delight. All this – just a few short blocks from the award-winning Crocker Highlands Elementary school, Lakeshore Avenue, the Grand Lake Farmer’s market and easy freeway access to the Bay Bridge and beyond.
