6048 Chelton Dr · Apartment for Rent

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 by the current owners as a sanctuary of eco-luxury, this home offers a sophisticated lifestyle that prioritizes both environmental integrity and its storied architectural heritage. Light-filled, high-spec and contemporary, nestled in parklike landscaping, with a natural stream winding through the trees in the canyon below. This home is a secluded retreat just minutes from caf�??�?�©s and shops in Montclair Village. Living spaces are arranged to take in the endless views through the updated dual pane floor-to-ceiling windows. A central kitchen welcomes family and guests as you enter - offering a sleek, yet homey workspace with peninsula counter, Wolf range, all surrounded by Heath tiles, and overlooking a dining area bathed in natural light. Timber stairs lead up to a magnificent living space with approx. 20' vaulted ceilings and an office or bedroom with 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. Back inside on the lower elves you will find oversized bedrooms and a remodeled guest bath, down one more flight of stairs you will find the spectacular primary retreat. As you enter the primary a spa like retreat greets you - walk-in rain shower, soaking tub and radiant floors all surrounded by the privacy and magnitude of the forest below. The bathroom flows naturally into the large sleeping accommodations and 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.
