8019 Sterling Dr

Perched near the top of the hill in Oakland's desirable Melrose Highlands neighborhood, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans approximately 1,806 square feet on a generous 9,500 square foot lot. Multiple rooms capture sweeping valley and hillside views, filling the home with natural light and a quiet, serene sense of retreat. Just imagine waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee to these expansive views each morning. The functional layout features a well-appointed updated kitchen that flows into generous living and entertaining spaces, complemented by a partially covered deck, a paver-stone patio, trellis, outdoor lighting, and a detached garage. The level yard offers additional potential for gardening or future expansion. King Estates Open Space Park sits just at the end of the block with walking trails and panoramic views of Oakland. This location also features quick freeway access keeping downtown Oakland and San Francisco within easy reach.
