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 floor-to-ceiling windows that pull in the light. A central kitchen welcomes family and guests as you enter on the left, 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 surrounded by Heath tiles, and overlooking a dining area with light-filled windows. Timber stairs lead up to a magnificent living space with an over-height ceiling and an office or bedroom with a full bath. Another set of stairs lead up to the sunny cedar-cladded patio and entry to the garage and outdoor Other bedrooms and bath are found on the second floor going down to the primary. As you enter the primary floor, french doors leading to another sun-bathed wrap-around patio greet you. The primary bath echoes the forest below with its moody petrichor green theme, lined with Heath tiles and features a double vanity and rainshower enclosure and tub. A well-appointed laundry, with built-in cellar space, shares the primary floor. Located just minutes from the vibrant Montclair Village, you are ideally situated for local boutiques, weekly farmers’ markets, and some of Oakland’s finest dining. 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.
