35 Bay Forest Ct, Oakland CA 94611

Tucked into a private cul-de-sac in Oakland Hills' coveted Merriewood neighborhood, minutes from Montclair Village, College Avenue, Sibley Volcanic Preserve, and a 5 minute car ride to Hwys 24 and 13, this sophisticated 3-story home offers the kind of light-filled, thoughtfully appointed living that's genuinely hard to come by. Abundant windows capture sweeping views of the Bay, city, and surrounding hills, flooding every level with natural light and a constant reminder of just how special this setting is. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with premium Dacor and Bosch appliances — designed for the home cook who takes it seriously. The open layout flows naturally between living and dining spaces, equally suited to quiet weeknight dinners and effortless entertaining. The primary suite, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and dedicated office all share one level — a smart, functional layout that keeps daily life easy and everything you need close at hand. The primary is a genuine retreat: a cozy fireplace, generous proportions, and those Bay views make it the kind of room you don't want to leave. The wired-for-continuous-Wi-Fi office rounds out the level perfectly for anyone working from home. The home is fully dialed in for modern life: solar power, two Tesla Powerwalls, and an EV charger handle your energy needs responsibly and efficiently. Whole-house audio sets the mood in every room. The lower level is where the home truly surprises. A large, open room with an updated full bath, wine bar and fridge, and theater wiring makes it an entertainer's dream — or convert it into a self-contained in-law suite or ADU.
