Own a Piece of History
This grand Mediterranean-style home on a flat, almost half-acre lot with a pickleball/basketball court in one of the most desired parts of Upper Rockridge is a rare gem indeed. Built for Oakland Mayor Herbert L. Beach in 1941, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom entertainer’s paradise survived the Oakland Hills Fire of 1991, and has been the site of innumerable weddings, neighborhood picnics, and dinner parties. Mahogany trim, doors, and built-ins on the main floor adorn the living and formal dining rooms. The large primary suite features a balcony overlooking the sprawling backyard and a sweeping vista of hills. A downstairs den and full laundry room open to an expansive covered patio. This lovingly maintained home awaits an owner to continue its enduring legacy as a neighborhood centerpiece.
