Perched in the prestigious Piedmont Pines hills adjacent to Montclair, this residence is a rare architectural gem designed and built by the noted Bay Area architect Francis Harvey Slocombe. Originally conceived in the Bauhaus style, the home serves as a bridge between functionalist European design and the airy, open-concept spirit of Mid-Century Modernism. Masterfully reimagined as a sanctuary of eco-luxury, 6048 Chelton Drive offers a sophisticated lifestyle that prioritizes both environmental integrity and its storied architectural heritage. Light-filled, high-spec and contemporary, this home nestles in parklike landscaping, with a natural stream winding through the trees in the canyon below – a secluded retreat just minutes from cafés and shops in Montclair Village. Living spaces are arranged to take in the endless views, with updated floor-to-ceiling windows that pull in the light. A central kitchen welcomes family and guests as you enter – with mixed wooden and ceramic floors, and a fireplace set in a feature wall in the living room. The kitchen is a sleek, high-tech workspace with peninsula counter, Wolf range, all surrounded by Heath tiles, and overlooking a dining area with light-filled windows. Timber stairs lead up to a magnificent living space with a vaulted ceiling and an office or bedroom with a full bath. Another set of stairs lead up to the sunny cedar-cladded patio with a stunning tree lined panoramic view and entry to the garage and outdoors. Additional oversized bedrooms and remodeled bath are found on the second floor going down to the primary. As you enter the primary you will find a spa like retreat with walk-in rain shower, soaking tub and radiant floors all surrounded by the privacy of the forest below. The bathroom flows naturally into the large master retreat with well-appointed walk-in closet. For the outdoor enthusiast, trailhead access to Joaquin Miller Park is practically at your doorstep, offering miles of hiking and biking trails through the redwoods. For the city dweller – this secluded retreat is just minutes from the vibrant Montclair Village; ideally situated for access to local boutiques, weekly farmers’ markets, and some of Oakland’s finest dining.
