3465 Brunell An exceptional view. An unexpectedly easy way of living. Sweeping Bay views, level-in access, and three spacious bedrooms on the main floor. A unicorn combination that makes 3465 Brunell as practical as it is impressive. This distinctive mid-century home pairs beautiful architecture with a floor plan that simplifies everyday life. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Bay, while vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, striking fireplace surrounds, and natural materials celebrate its architectural roots. An open floor plan connects the breakfast nook, kitchen, dining room, living room, and main entry. Direct access from the two-car garage makes bringing home groceries refreshingly simple. Tucked away from the gathering spaces, the bedroom wing offers privacy. The main-level primary suite features two generous closets, Bay views, and a beautifully renovated bath that makes extra time in the morning feel well spent. Of the home's other two full bathrooms, one remains in stunning original condition, while the other has been renovated with natural textures and understated finishes. A lovely balance of mid-century character and spa-like serenity. Downstairs, the family room is extraordinary in scale. Soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a wall of windows overlooking the trees give the space an airy presence. There's room for all the cousins on movie night, a bridge game in one corner, and a generous home office that never needs to be packed away when company arrives. The layout also lends itself to multigenerational living: a retreat for grandparents, accommodations for an au pair, or a young adult enjoying independence while saving for the full launch. Set in the heart of Oakland, just off Highway 13, the location makes getting around the East Bay, heading into San Francisco, or traveling south toward the Peninsula convenient. Nearby East Bay Regional Parks and Joaquin Miller Dog Park are gathering spots, in a neighborhood where you're likely to know not only your neighbors' names, but their four-legged companions' names too. Just down the hill, the pleasures are local: a raspberry-pistachio croissant from beloved La Cajou, a burger from Patty 'N Buns, or that elusive item from Montclair Hardware that finally gets the home repair project finished. 3465 Brunell brings together the things that make a house wonderful to look at and a joto live in. The view may be what first catches your attention. Everything else makes it a forever home.
