Tucked above the garage, a concealed library awaits a hidden retreat for reading, working from home, or escaping the everyday. It's the kind of space buyers dream about and never find. The fairytale continues throughout: 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths wrapped in storybook charm, where brick details and a fresh designer vision create a home with genuine soul. An updated kitchen anchors the main level, a stylish bar keeps entertaining effortless, and new flooring, fixtures, and finishes flow through light-filled rooms that feel as good as they look. Then the home opens up seamless indoor-outdoor living spills into a beautifully landscaped backyard built for the Oakland hills lifestyle: sunny mornings with coffee, long dinners with friends, evenings under the stars. All of it minutes from Joaquin Miller Park trails, Montclair Village, and Hwy 13. Cookie-cutter homes are everywhere. Character like this charm you can feel, a backyard you'll live in, and a secret room your guests will never stop talking about comes along once in a market. Don't just see this home. Discover it.
