1 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ EB41146541 MLS

Flooded with light and Bay views, this quintessential mid-century artist's retreat is peacefully perched above Montclair Village's bustling shops, services, and restaurants. 1999 Gaspar is enough up the hill to provide forest living and views of the Bay from the upper and lower levels of the home, while remaining connected to the town via a minute long car jaunt or a brief meander down one on Montclair's famous "secret stairways" at the end of the block. Pull into the carport, take in the view as you unbuckle, and enjoy a deep breath as you settle into your own slice of heaven. Flow down the few gentle steps to your front landing and settle into another time, surrounded by lush hillside vegetation and 1999 Gaspar's iconically angled and steel beam filled structure. Your day continues to melt away as you enter the home and soak in the neighbor-less views of the Bay. Sunshine greets and surrounds you, as the wall of windows illuminate the soaring ceilings and Nordic red-oak hardwood floors of your living spaces in golden light. The sun may beckon you closer as you step from the kitchen, dining, and living spaces through glass doors and onto the spacious back deck. You may rather choose to meander through the angled glass doors in the front to the zen-garden like patio, to relax wit
