High cathedral ceilings throughout the main level living spaces creates a sense of spaciousness well beyond the already generous square footage. Another notable architectural detail is the formal dining area, gracefully framed with arches and columns. The large eat-in kitchen features Corian counters, a center island with breakfast bar, gas cooktop and separate double wall oven, abundant cabinet storage a greenhouse window and skylights. There are oak floors in the kitchen, living and dining areas, and newer bamboo flooring in the bedrooms, hall and stairs. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom with a double sink vanity with make-up area, a separate stall shower, and a roomy Jacuzzi tub. Sliding doors lead to the rear terraced garden. Two other bedrooms and a full bath finish the main floor. Downstairs is a family room, full bath, laundry, wine closet and access to the two car garage.
There is a photovoltaic electric system on the roof to take advantage of our many sunny days, and that means ulta-low electric bills. The terraced garden has lots of room for all sorts of plants, plus there is a flat lawn area on the top level.
Shopping and cafes abound in nearby Montclair Village, and freeway access for the commute to SF or through the tunnel to Contra Costa is very convenient.
