Own an Oakland Gem

Prepare to fall in love at first sight with 958 Leo Way - a home thoughtfully imagined and built by the current owner in 1993 to honor the beautiful detailing of the original home. A welcoming brick path leads you past the landscaped grounds to an inviting front porch which is flanked by two mature and prolific fig trees. The main level layout includes a Formal Living room with woodburning fireplace which opens to the Formal Dining room which flows into a sunroom with French doors to the back garden. Enjoy convenient access to the backyard as well from the chef's kitchen. A bonus room with closet makes an ideal den, office or bedroom. A full bath completes the main level. Upstairs includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, which include a spacious Primary Suite with private deck, two closets and luxurious bathroom.  A laundry closet completes the upper level. The two car detached garage has additional storage. The front and rear gardens were professionally landscaped to beautifully extend the living spaces to the outdoors. The slate roof is perhaps one of the home's most special features! Ideally located mere blocks to Montclair Village, SF Express Bus stop and near numerous parks and trails as well as Highways 13, 24 and 580.

Neighborhood

Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
 
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, Daughter Thai, Kakui Sushi and Crogan’s. Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese. Coffee shops include Peet's, Starbucks, High Coffee Roasters and Paddington Cafe. Colonial Donuts has been a Village staple for generations. A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene. 
Montclair Park has been a favorite for generations complete with a duck pond, picnic areas, tennis and pickelball courts, outdoor basketball court, as well as vintage stagecoach and "town" and modern play equipment. You can also enjoy sports on the large fields or, across the way, a scenic wall along the Railroad Trail!
