Property Description

Step into a fairytale with this extraordinary French Normandy masterpiece by renowned builder R.C. Hillen gracing Oakland's prestigious Normandy Gardens tract. This architectural gem represents one of the largest and most impressive "castles" on famed Christmas Tree Lane, lovingly maintained by the same family for four decades. The home features exceptional 4-level storybook living with thoughtfully designed spaces that capture the whimsical spirit of the era, enhanced by unique north and south side entrances that add to its distinctive character. Seamless modern updates beautifully honor the original 1926 charm, including a gorgeously remodeled kitchen and updated bathrooms. Recent major investments include complete interior paint across all 4 floors, refinished hardwood floors throughout, a fully renovated upstairs bathroom and a gourmet kitchen featuring Viking appliances and quartz counters. Three exceptional outdoor spaces include two side patios and an upstairs bedroom balcony, perfect for enjoying California living. Ideally located near highways, Mills College, and public transportation for ultimate convenience in this coveted neighborhood.
