Spectacular Views from Glen Highlands 6585 Swainland Road 奥克兰, 加利福尼亚州 94611 美国

Whoever said “the best views of San Francisco are from Oakland” might have had this Glen Highlands home in mind. The home is 5,880 square feet, with six bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, on a 0.56-acre lot, but the statistics do not begin to tell the story.

Enter past a grassy front yard, koi pond and soothing water feature, through the home’s main foyer, over distinctive onyx stone flooring, under a 13-foot peaked ceiling. The centerpiece of the home, its large living room, sits nearby, featuring a spacious outside deck under a pergola, a fireplace to ward off winter chill, and spectacular views of The City, southern Marin, and San Francisco Bay. The open kitchen, with Viking, Bosch, and other elite appliances, lies to the other side of the main level, offering a skylight, bay window, and cherry hardwoods. Its open design leads to the spacious family room, with another fireplace and access to a deck with views of San Francisco and the wooded hillsides of Upper Rockridge.

Choose one of two rooms to dine. The most unique is the octagonal breakfast nook off the kitchen, easily seating 6-8 under a 16-foot ceiling. Alternatively, dine nearby in the formal dining room, which offers deck access and more impressive views. Work or study from home is easy in the oversized office near the entry foyer.

The six bedrooms span two floors. The primary bedroom on the main floor, with an adjoining spacious en-suite bath (with spa tub, oversized shower with dual heads and a bench, and walk-in closet under a skylight), is more than 300 square feet in size. It sits under elevated ceilings, with San Francisco views to the west and Upper Rockridge views to the south. Descend a spiral staircase under a skylight to the lower floor, accommodating the other five bedrooms. The guest-suite bedroom is more than 300 square feet, adjoining its en-suite bath (with spa tub) and spacious walk-in closet. That bedroom has access to a large covered terrace, with more San Francisco views. The other four bedrooms, ranging in size from about 220 square feet to more than 300, lie down a hall, each with views of The City or Upper Rockridge hillsides. One is currently staged as a recreation room. Two enjoy access to a private decks.

The lower level offers two venues for relaxation and play, in addition to the family room upstairs. One is a spacious recreation room; the other, a theater/media room.

The three-car garage permits home access through a spacious mud/laundry room, so one can park and enter in the rain without opening an umbrella.

Not included in the listed square footage is an immense storage room, more than 900 square feet in size, under the garage.

Although the home is well removed from traffic noise, one may access the 13 and 24 freeways quickly, leading to San Francisco and all the Bay Area’s other attractions.
