13555 Skyline Blvd

Skyline Blvd runs along the crest of the Oakland Hills, in fresh air high above the bustling city. The home, fully remodeled in 2020-21, rests on a sprawling lot surrounded by mature trees. One's attention immediately is drawn to the Great Room, some 817 sq ft under a beamed ceiling above, with white oak hardwoods below. The open-concept kitchen features elite appliances, an immense natural-stone island (seating at least 5), and Diotti cabinetry. Floor-to-ceiling sliders lead outside to a spacious deck. The principal suite offers a distinctive fireplace/heater, and garden and hillside views. The en-suite bath features an oversized shower and heated floors. Downstairs is a family/play room that simultaneously accommodates movie-watching and a well-appointed home gym. Outside, a grassy area invites play, and a firepit will invite outdoor collegiality and conversation. The sitting room off the foyer is ideal for a home office. The home is ideal for guests, an au pair, or multigenerational living; on the home's lower level sits an elegant au pair/guest apartment, with a bedroom, full kitchen and bath, living room, and separate entrance. Parking is easy in the garage (with EV charger) and circular driveway. The Oakland FD maintains its fully staffed fire station just a minute away.
