21 Castle Ln Oakland, CA 94611

This is a home like no other: a dazzling level-in, mid-century design by renowned Bay Area modernist architect Robert Klemmedson, balancing elements of glamour with a sense of serenity. The almost half-acre lot is sited for maximum privacy and quiet, and of course, for spectacular views from every angle.There are so many dramatic details - a vaulted living room ceiling with exposed beams; a hidden wet bar in the living room and a wraparound deck with views from all sides. The recently updated eat-in kitchen has function and elegance, with the lovely Bay view framed above the sink. The indoor-outdoor flow is especially well-suited to entertaining. So many graceful touches - the downstairs atrium-like indoor garden; the hot-tub off the kitchen; the zen front garden.The lower level is especially peaceful, and can be used as guest rooms, an au pair suite or a deluxe home office. Set on a private cul de sac, the location is ideal to enjoy both nature and the conveniences of East Bay living.
