About 2008 Drake Drive

Welcome Home

If you’re dreaming of living in Montclair – moments from the village’s charming cafes and shops, schools, parks, and trails – welcome home! 2008 Drake Drive in the Oakland Hills is a fantastic opportunity to settle in this coveted community in a house with rare expansive yards and veggie beds, a bonus family room and additional space to convert into a potential 4th bedroom. 

This special home sits on a desirable level street and features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a large recreational/family room and a sunny deck overlooking large backyard. California living at it’s finest! Meanwhile, you’re just 1 mile from the heart of Montclair Village, easily reachable via the Montclair Railroad Trail with no car needed.

The property starts with a large fenced front yard that’s perfect for play and gardening. The home opens to a light-filled living room with a brick fireplace and a dining room with glass doors to the deck overlooking the backyard below. The updated and roomy kitchen has a breakfast bar, quartz counters, and stainless steel appliances. These main living spaces boast hardwood floors and an exposed ceiling painted airy white. You’ll also find 3 bedrooms, including the primary suite, on this level. The lower level features a bonus room, 1/2 bath, laundry area, abundant storage, and backyard access.

The sellers shared some magic moments they experienced while living here: Teaching their sons to ride bikes in the cul-de-sac behind the house. Strolling down the railroad trail for frozen yogurt in the village 10 minutes away. Harvesting ripe tomatoes from the front veggie beds. Collecting lemons from the backyard tree and eggs from the chicken coop.

Imagine all the memories you'll make if 2008 Drake becomes your home next!
