Completely Remodeled Mid-Century Modern House in Leona Heights

4211 Knoll Avenue | Oakland

offered at $595,000

Completely remodeled mid-century modern house on a quiet dead-end lane in Leona Heights (Redwood Heights School District). This charming street, just a block from the rambling, dog-friendly Leona Heights Park, feel miles removed from bustling city living, but is just 3 miles from Montclair Village.

The house was designed with modern living in mind – everything feels open, but there is great separation of space. The house features a large open living /dining area with designer lighting, a custom chef’s eat-in kitchen with stainless gas range, Carrera marble counters & custom whisper shut cabinetry, refinished hardwood floors, gracious master suite with huge dual headed shower, family room with balcony, fenced yard with lawn, new roof, new systems, and a 2-car attached garage.

Sometimes its the small things that make a big difference. If you agree, you’ll appreciate some of the finising touches like the handcrafted mailbox made in Seattle from Brazillain hardwood, the handcrafted cabinets made by an Oakland carpenter, and the unique light fixtures.

Caldecott Properties Celebrates 5-Year Anniversary with New Website, Office and Services

Oakland, CA – September 30, 2010 – Caldecott Properties, an independent real estate brokerage in Oakland, celebrated its five year anniversary by launching an new website, opening a new office in Moraga and offering property management and investment services.

“We are very fortunate to have made it through our first five years and wanted to re-invest in ourselves so that we will be well positioned when the market improves. Our new website should make visitors experiences much more enjoyable. The new office and our expanded real estate services will allow us to increase our exposure in the marketplace,” said Andy Read, President of Caldecott Properties.”

“We are proud to be Moraga’s newest real estate brokerage and the only one with a retail presence. We felt Moraga had been overlooked by other brokerages that opted for Orinda and Lafayette. The Town of Moraga has been exceptional to work with and we are enthusiastic about the opening of the new Rheem Theater, 24-Hour Fitness and new restaurants on the horizon,” said Michelle Vasey, Vice President of Caldecott Properties.

Caldecott Properties now offers property management services for residential properties. Unlike other property managers, Caldecott specializes in high-end single family homes, not apartment buildings. “There was a real void for home owners looking for managers offering exceptional customer service and familiarity with local ordinances. Most property managers target apartment buildings because there is more money to make. I am more interested in building long term relationships with home owners,” said Ron Reece, Director of Property Management Services.

In addition, Antoine Pirson, Certified Commercial Investment Member, has joined Caldecott as Director of Investment Properties. In this role he will oversee Caldecott’s expansion into the multi-family home market in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

Caldecott Properties is located at 5251 Broadway @ College Ave. in Oakland, CA and 370B Park Street @ Rheem Blvd. in Moraga.

To view the new website, please visit www.Caldecott.com.
