Tucked discreetly behind a gate in the heart of Montclair, this enchanting 1920s cottage feels like a hidden woodland escape, yet is just moments from Montclair Village and located within the highly regarded Oakland school district. Set on a park-like property rich with biodiversity, the grounds unfold as a true sanctuary. Mature oak, redwood, and maple trees tower above layered gardens, while stunning plum blossoms announce the arrival of spring in spectacular fashion. Birdsongs fill the air, and every season brings a new chapter of natural beauty. Whether savoring morning coffee while birdwatching or unwinding beneath a canopy of trees, the experience is tranquil, restorative, and distinctly zen-like. Originally built in 1920, the home retains its timeless architectural charm while incorporating thoughtful updates over the years. Abundant windows frame lush garden vistas, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The setting feels worlds away, yet remains remarkably central and convenient. With expansion potential, the property offers flexibility to evolve. A workshop space beneath the carport adds versatility for creative pursuits, hobbies, storage, or future development possibilities. Check expansion/developement possibilities with the City of Oakland.
