New Listing
In-Person: 10/25 2:00 PM - 6:00 PMFifty years ago, on Valentine's Day, Raleigh and Estrellita Redus moved into their brand-new house with their son Caleb, then 6, and their daughter Nyjeri, then 3. Estrellita taught at Montclair Elementary School, and she discovered the property while taking students home one day. She was also an artist, and 15 North Circle became her muse. Her personal touches are everywhere: stained glass created by students in a summer class at an Oakland school for the arts, overseen by a visiting professor; flooring laid on the diagonal; a kitchen renovated with an interior designer, featuring cabinetry sourced from Germany; a custom walk-in closet from Japan in the primary suite; and a Manzanita tree limb installed in the stairwell that is illuminated by a skylight they installed. The home offers level entry from the 2-car garage with interior access. The large primary suite on the main level has a luxe bathroom with an oversized shower, dual sinks and cabinetry, a bidet, a custom built-in dresser, and a skylight. The living space off the updated kitchen opens through a nano-style door that seamlessly connects the interior and exterior. Practical upgrades include air conditioning, and a Generac generator. Raleigh loves the generous outdoor space created by the IPE decks, studded with outdoor lights. The property enjoys multiple microclimates, from full sun to shade, and the trees and landscaping, with views of Sutro Tower, create a soothing setting. With ample guest parking on a cul-de-sac of just 3 houses, this property is unique for Montclair living. Just down the road is the Hills Swim and Tennis Club, where the Redus family has been members since 1977 and where it was part of their children's daily routine. It is hard to say goodbye to a home that's been part of the family, but 15 North Circle is ready for its second owner. Truly one of one, it is a home full of character, history, and good energy.
