The View that always stays young!

Panoramic, sweeping views perched high in the coveted Montclair hills, 6401 Snake Road is a sleek Mid-Century Modern retreat that combines clean architectural lines, privacy, and an extraordinary connection to the beauty of the Bay Area.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus a versatile office/bonus room, a 1379 square foot home with a thoughtful separation of spaces between the two levels. The primary ensuite occupies the upper level, while the additional bedroom, office/bonus room and laundry are downstairs.

From the moment you walk through the front door, the view takes center stage. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors frame a breathtaking panorama stretching across the Bay, with views of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, along with Angel Island, Mt. Tamalpais and the Marin hills. And then there are the sunsets—spectacular East Bay evenings when the entire western sky seems to become part of the house.

The main level was designed around this remarkable setting. The open-concept living room features an electric fireplace and home theater, flowing naturally into the dining area and modern kitchen. The dining room sits directly alongside the glass and expansive view, turning even an ordinary dinner into something special.

Step through the glass doors onto the enormous upper deck, which spans the width of the home and dramatically extends the living space outdoors. It has become one of our favorite places to relax, entertain friends, enjoy dinner or simply watch the changing light over the Bay.

The lower level has its own wonderful outdoor retreat: a second deck that feels quiet, shaded and private. Below is a fenced rear yard, adding another usable outdoor space.

Inside, the home has been lovingly refreshed. It is freshly painted inside and out, with beautiful bamboo and maple flooring that has been sanded and clear-coated to bring out the natural character of the wood. Double-pane windows throughout add comfort and efficiency, while fine finishes and quality appliances complement the home’s clean, understated design.

Privacy is another feature we especially appreciate. The front privacy fencing creates a secluded garden area with its own drip irrigation system, while the home’s position high in the hills provides a peaceful sense of separation from the noise and activity below.

Despite the hillside setting, coming and going is remarkably easy. There is a convenient driveway, a two-car garage with a new automatic garage door, and ample level street parking for guests.

And then there is the neighborhood itself with wonderful neighbors and close to some of the East Bay’s most beautiful outdoor destinations. Redwood Regional Park and the surrounding parklands offer miles of walking, hiking and biking trails, while nearby attractions include Chabot Space & Science Center, swimming facilities and wonderful family recreation areas.

It is a home that can feel peaceful and tucked away one moment and wonderfully connected to the Bay Area the next.

"But what we may remember most is simply stepping outside at the end of the day, looking across the Bay and watching one of those extraordinary sunsets unfold over the bridges, islands and hills".
