Light & bright Montclair home across from the Park
Perched atop the trees, with stunning verdant views and steps from the largest park in Northern California is 6229 Melville Drive. With an abundance of surrounding trees creating a private atmosphere and stunning light almost all hours of the day, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom mid-century modern home feels like an oasis in the city.
With a gated front entry surrounded by established trees and thoughtful pavers, the porch flows through into the great room where the kitchen, living, and dining areas connect into one open concept space. Light and bright, the many windows keep the room feeling airy in the summer and spring, while in the winter and fall the fireplace allows it to feel cozy and intimate. Distinctly modernized, the kitchen has been sleekly updated with classic white subway tile, fresh paint, new hardware and newer appliances. Ideal for alfresco dining, the large deck is easily accessed from the french doors off the living and kitchen areas. Completely private, the full deck envelopes the entire back of the home, where you can enjoy breathtaking treetop views at any time of day. Also on the main level are two bedrooms which share a full bath, the first of which could be used as an office with french glass doors leading out to the living area, while the other is highlighted by a stunning skylight.
On the lower level of the home are two additional bedrooms, full bathroom and laundry area. Also accessed on this level is the large, fully fenced backyard, perfect for letting your furry friend play in. Finally, the dreamy primary suite features french doors that lead out a private deck, gas fireplace, walk-in closet and a charming ensuite bathroom updated with a glass shower and separate jacuzzi bathtub. Accessible from this level is the spacious backyard. With a large leveled area, this space is perfect for a dog run, play structure, or planter boxes for the family gardener. Situated on a quiet street easily accessed by Skyline Blvd, the location is ideal. Steps away from one of the largest parks in Northern California and close to Montclair village, where darling shops and restaurants abound, the neighborhood only adds to the charm of this charming home.
