11185 Golf Links Rd Oakland, CA 94605

Set atop a private drive, this expansive home offers space for family and friends in a retreat-like setting that defies the convenient city location. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms spread out across 3500 square feet offer generous gathering spaces — the dramatic vaulted two-story living room boasts a magnificent double-sided fireplace which opens to the family room , overlooking the multi-tiered hillside backyard. The kitchen is built for cooking and conversation, with Viking appliances, a built-in Miele espresso station, cherry cabinets and plenty of room for guests. A large laundry room leads to both the expansive backyard, and a two-car garage outfitted with built-ins and plenty of storage. The two downstairs bedrooms share a travertine appointed Jack-and-Jill bath, sophisticated and classic-yet-modern. Hardwood floors throughout provide a streamlined segue from room to room.
