Step into one of Oakland’s most storied ridge-top homes. Built in 1933 as the very first house on this hilltop — and celebrated upon completion as architect Frederick Confer’s “Style House” — this 4-bedroom gem blends 90 years of soul with modern comforts. Panoramic San Francisco Bay views unfold from nearly every room: wake up to a living room framing the SF skyline, share dinner against a backdrop of twinkling city lights, or end the evening fireside as the Bay glistens below.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The Living Room — Vaulted ceilings, period-crafted moulding on original doors, and a wood-burning fireplace anchor a space that’s somehow both grand and genuinely cozy. Original hardwood floors run throughout. Corner picture windows — designed by Confer to frame the panorama — face west toward San Francisco.<br /><br />The Bedrooms (4 queens) — Four full queen bedrooms give everyone their own space. Each room has been thoughtfully furnished — warm tones, quality linens, and the quiet that only a private hillside home provides. The layout works naturally for up to four couples, a family, or a group of four friends sharing a Bay Area adventure.<br /><br />The Bathrooms (3 full) — Three full bathrooms (rare in this category). The main floor bath features a full soaking tub. All bathrooms include quality towels, shampoo, conditioner, and a hair dryer.<br /><br />The Kitchen & Dining — A fully equipped kitchen opens to a dining area that seats 8–10. The wraparound windows make morning coffee a moment — you’re looking at the Oakland hills cascading down toward the Bay, with the SF skyline on the horizon. Stocked: fridge, range, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, espresso machine, Keurig, toaster, full dining service.<br /><br />The Den — Bonus family room/den with built-in shelves, sectional, and workspace for movie nights, remote work, or kids. Washer and dryer adjacent.<br /><br />The Patio — Private brick patio with Bay Area views. Watch fog burn off to reveal the skyline. Fire up the grill for dinner with a view.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Entire home — you’ll have the full 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house to yourselves. No shared spaces.
