38 Drake Lane sits on an intimate cul-de-sac block of seven homes in Montclair, not far from the Village. This mid-century modern, comfort edition property has been meticulously loved and recrafted under the current owners' tenure: solid oak floors were installed on the main level, the kitchen was taken to… Read More studs, the ceiling elevated and a skylight added, nearly every window was replaced; the deck was rebuilt; a paverstoned front patio was added, ten made-to-order American-made light fixtures were installed throughout, a privacy wall was added on the stairwell, a new roof was installed in 2025, and the entire home was finished in a clean yet warm neutral palette, inspired by the property's surroundings. The 1966 architecture is a testament to why this era remains so coveted. A low-slung roofline, a full wall of glass, angular ceiling lines, and three skylights drench the main level in natural light. Large, generous rooms flow with intention, and the sizable deck off the living room opens to verdant views with no home behind the property offering privacy the owners have savored for nearly three decades. Level-in access, a two-car garage, a covered exterior porch, four new exterior lights (2026), and an abundance of storage complete a home that is as practical as it is appealing, with bonus space that presents an ADU or in-law possibility. (Buyer to investigate) The main level primary suite offers a skylight, double-sink vanity, and a spa-caliber shower, the kind of bathroom that reminds you of that vacation spot you want to get back to. The spirit of this home is soothing, comforting, and very livable, all while honoring the era of its architecture amid one of Oakland's lush settings. Montclair has a quaint small-town vibe with a year-round farmers’ market, local favorites such as Yellow Door Cafe and the new Payakk restaurant, and many more restaurants, shops, bakeries, banks, grocery stores, and workout places.
