Find Out What Your Home Is Really Worth!

Featured in Architectural Digest, this brilliantly reimagined hillside home in Oakland’s coveted Glenview neighborhood reflects a rare and refined vision of preservation and contemporary design. An innovative collaboration between McGriff Architects and Becky Carter Interior Design Studio celebrates the character of the original 1932 home with extensive upgrades throughout. The 3-bed, 3-bath main residence preserves the cabin's quiet charm while revealing a carefully layered architectural transformation within. The light-filled living room remains the heart of the home, framed by exposed beams and an original flagstone fireplace, and flows onto a private deck retreat perched among majestic oaks with expansive views reaching the Bay and the peaceful glen below. The kitchen and dining areas embrace crafted simplicity and character-forward design, reflecting the home’s joy, warmth & thoughtful detailing. An expanded lower level offers modern, private quarters with convenient laundry, enhancing both livability and flow. A complementary detached studio cottage with its own kitchen, bathroom, and deck offers an inviting space perfect for guests, WFH, or a quiet retreat. Together, architecture, interior design, & nature create a home that feels both timeless and quietly extraordinary.
