  A Rare Architectural Treasure in Montclair Designed by Walter H. Ratcliff, Jr. | 1938

Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac near Montclair Village, this exquisite Spanish-style home by renowned architect Walter H. Ratcliff Jr. blends 1938 elegance with modern updates. Behind iron gates, a brick courtyard and fountain welcome you into a 3BD/2BA residence rich in character details including arched entryways, picture windows, wood-beamed ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and artisan tile. The reimagined kitchen and baths offer modern style and functionality. Each room visually connects to lush gardens with mature landscaping, including a primary suite overlooking the front fountain, a secondary bedroom shaded by a majestic Japanese Maple, and a top-floor retreat with a private balcony. A bonus room opens to a sunny garden nook, a perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. Just blocks to Thornhill Elementary*, coffee shops, library, parks, and the vibrant Montclair Village. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Oakland’s architectural legacy. OPEN SUN May 4 2:00-4:30, MON May 5 10:00-12:00, May 11 OH 2:00-4:30.
