NATURE LOVERS HOME BASE Head for the trees up Skyline Drive to the top of the Oakland hills and the peaceful beautiful neighborhood of Parkridge Estates. This single level, ranch style home is the perfect base camp for nature lovers. Off the front entrance, the recently remodeled kitchen with a spacious island and open floor plan of kitchen family great room to verdant back yard & deck through the French doors for easy indoor/outdoor flow. Light seems to be everywhere in the house - from the Japanese maple that filters a pink shade into one of three bedrooms, to the corner windows and glass door to the deck in the primary suite; everything is oriented toward the outdoors and the mature trees that ring the house. Built in 1963, this home has the clean lines and functional living spaces of the time, but with today's updates of a great room and more communal areas. The 2 car garage with interior access has plenty of space for mountain bikes and camping gear. Plenty of parking on the deep driveway & wide street with sidewalks. Lace up your boots and hike out to one of the many nearby trailheads right from your home (no car needed) or stay home and birdwatch on the private deck in the backyard and listen to windchimes sing as a breeze blows through the pine trees that flank the house.
