Set along Skyline Boulevard, where the East Bay hills open to the horizon, this reimagined residence spans more than an acre of curated, Mediterranean-influenced landscape. A composed front approach - defined by stucco, metal, and wood fencing with dual gates - creates a sense of arrival with privacy and presence. Inside, approximately 2,595 square feet unfold with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, oriented toward sweeping Bay views. Skylights wash interiors in shifting light, softening plaster walls and illuminating a sculptural fireplace that anchors the main living spaces. The expanded kitchen connects seamlessly to dining and family areas, with a sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the water. Outside, an Ipe deck and stone terraces gather around the home, while olive-dotted grounds, lavender paths, and a shaded pergola create a setting equally suited for large gatherings or quiet retreat.

Set along Skyline Boulevard, where the East Bay hills open toward the horizon, this reimagined residence unfolds across more than an acre of curated landscape - expansive and distinctly Mediterranean in its influence, with a setting that feels both elevated and connected. A beautifully composed front approach, defined by a stucco, metal, and wood fence with dual gates, creates a sense of arrival while offering both privacy and presence. The home spans approximately 2,595 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, but the experience is less about count and more about flow. Nearly every room is oriented toward the Bay, drawing in a constant interplay of light and distance. Skylights wash the interiors in shifting brightness throughout the day, softening plaster walls and ceilings in the living and dining rooms, where a sculptural fireplace with an iron mantel anchors the space. The kitchen was thoughtfully expanded, forming a natural connection point between the dining, family, and living areas. A sunlit breakfast nook sits at its edge, an everyday vantage point that looks outward to the water. Materials are warm and grounded, with a measured use of stone that ties the interiors to the landscape beyond the glass, reinforcing the home’s Mediterranean sensibility. The primary suite offers a more secluded retreat, culminating in a sumptuous bath designed with both scale and restraint. Throughout the home, double-paned windows frame the surroundings while enhancing comfort. Outside, the property opens in layers. An expansive Ipe deck extends from the home, while a series of stone terraces gather and unfold around the property itself, creating multiple moments for dining, conversation, and quiet retreat. The grounds are both structured and relaxed, with native plantings and mature trees framing a level lawn and, beyond it, a wide meadow dotted with olive trees. Pathways wind through lavender beds to a shaded pergola overlooking the meadow - a setting that has hosted weddings, and just as easily accommodates a quiet afternoon. A detached workshop or office adds flexibility, while a two-car garage and generous off-street parking provide ease and practicality. Set within Hillcrest Estates, a neighborhood known for its larger parcels, privacy, and proximity to regional parks, the home offers a rare balance - immersed in nature, yet directly connected to one of the East Bay’s main ridgeline corridors, with easy access to the trails above and the city below.
