Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac near Montclair Village, this exquisite Spanish-style home by renowned architect Walter H. Ratcliff Jr. blends 1938 elegance with modern updates. Behind iron gates, a brick courtyard and fountain welcome you into a 3BD/2BA residence rich in character details including arched entryways, picture windows, wood-beamed ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and artisan tile. The reimagined kitchen and baths offer modern style and functionality. Each room visually connects to lush gardens with mature landscaping, including a primary suite overlooking the front fountain, a secondary bedroom shaded by a majestic Japanese Maple, and a top-floor retreat with a private balcony. A bonus room opens to a sunny garden nook, a perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. Just blocks to Thornhill Elementary*, coffee shops, library, parks, and the vibrant Montclair Village. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Oakland’s architectural legacy. OPEN SUN May 11 OH 2:00-4:30.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
