Single Story View Home

Live in a serene and peaceful setting on top of Oakland. East of Skyline Blvd. and looking out to views of Contra Costa County is 5215 Saddle Brook Drive., a home in Parkridge Estates. This neighborhood is one of Oakland’s less-discovered locations.
 
Enjoy single-story living and many eco-friendly upgrades! Mature and drought-tolerant landscaping sets the scene. An orange door paired with matching shutters gives the curb appeal a stylish pop.   
 
Walk in to be met with hilltop views. Wowza! Large living room sliders invite you to stay awhile. Cozy up inside and take in the scene, or sit outside to bask in the sunshine atop the large redwood deck!
 
The kitchen and dining room combination offers function and additional flow to the property’s outdoor spaces. We love how the kitchen is wrapped with windows to take advantage of views, and capture daylight. Check out the robin’s-egg blue cabinets. The stainless steel appliances are included. A swinging door to the outside makes entertaining a breeze. Beyond the countertop is a peninsula with bar seating, and a sliding door to the side yard. The side yard is sheltered with a canopy of olive tree branches and has professionally installed hardscaping and landscaping. It’s a retreat for you and the birds. Back inside, the dining area is adorned with a cozy fireplace. This space is flexible. Convert it to a family room or add an office wall. Enjoy your options.
 
At the other end of the house are 3 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms. The first bedroom is shown as an office. The second is a traditional bedroom with a wall closet. A hall bathroom services both bedrooms and dinner guests. Through a wide doorway is the primary bedroom suite. It has an ensuite bathroom, plenty of closet space, and a view window looking East.
 
Not to be overlooked is this one’s impeccable condition, extensive upgrade list, and practical amenities. Underfoot is grey-toned cork flooring— a unique, eco-friendly, and beautiful design choice! Non-toxic paint covers the interior. There’s a 2-car attached garage with an installed EV car charger. Convenient is additional off-street parking in the driveway. A full-sized washer and dryer lives in the garage. Many windows are dual-paned and have solar shades. More sexy stuff — a backup generator and new water heater.
 
Loved by all of its owners, this one is an excellent choice for picky buyers. Move to nature. Hiking and biking trails abound nearby in Leona Canyon. What a special home with a million-dollar view.
