Property is move-in ready.
This 1965 Eichler home is in move-in ready condition, showing exceptional maintenance and pride of ownership. While the kitchen and bathrooms retain older styles and original-type cabinetry, the property has been recently refreshed with new period-correct VCT flooring and interior paint. The iconic architectural elements, including the unpainted cathedral ceilings and the unique retractable atrium cover, appear well-preserved. It avoids a 'fair' rating due to the high level of upkeep and recent cosmetic preparation, though buyers may eventually seek to modernize the original-style bathrooms and kitchen appliances.
As a rare A. Quincy Jones 'Double-A' model Eichler, this home retains highly coveted original features such as unpainted cathedral ceilings and a signature brick fireplace, making it a trophy property for mid-century modern enthusiasts.
The property boasts unique upgrades including an expanded kitchen with a gas stove—atypical for Eichlers—and a stunning open-air atrium with a retractable cover that allows for year-round indoor-outdoor utility.
Situated on a spacious 8,000+ square foot lot in a desirable neighborhood with underground utilities, the home offers a private, pastoral setting complemented by peek-a-boo views of the Bay.
The local public schools assigned to this address have relatively low ratings, ranging from 2 to 4, which may impact the property's appeal to families prioritizing high-ranking educational institutions.
With five bedrooms but only two full bathrooms, the home's configuration may be inconvenient for larger households, potentially necessitating future renovations to add additional facilities.
First time on the market in over 48 years for this highly desirable, and rarely available A. Quincy Jones "Double-A" model Eichler home in the Sequoyah Hills development of Oakland; one of the smallest Eichler communities in all the East Bay, and one of the only neighborhoods with underground utilities. Situated high atop the East Bay Hills on a private and pastoral lot of over 8,000 square feet with peek a boo views of the Bay, this expansive single level mid-century modern gem features 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a stunning open air atrium entrance with retractable cover enabling you year round enjoyment of the additional space. Other details include an expanded kitchen with gas stove, which is atypical to an Eichler home. There's been a sunroom added for relaxing and entertaining. Many of the original features that define the era remain intact including unpainted ceilings, an unpainted brick fireplace that's a main feature of the great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, covered carport, and many of the original closet doors. Plenty of preparation as well before listing including new "period" VCT flooring, fresh paint throughout, and more to get you started making this amazing opportunity yours!
