About 6008 Monadnock Way
Welcome Home
A jewel in Oakland’s sought-after Millsmont neighborhood, 6008 Monadnock Way is a classic 1920s California bungalow that lives large with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spaciously updated kitchen. You’ll fall in love with the period details that make this sweet home stand out: The inviting walkway with arched porch entry, the interior flow through sunlit rooms and arched passageways, the vintage fireplace, glowing hardwood floors, and the dining room built-in cabinets. You won’t mind having lots of cooks in this eat-in kitchen, stylishly updated with refreshing ocean-blue glass tile backsplashes, white Silestone quartz countertops, generous cabinetry, and a large chalkboard for jotting your daily inspirations. From the kitchen, wander out back into your private garden, lined with planting beds where veggies can soak up all those sunny Millsmont days. Speaking of green thumbs… The prolific Meyer lemon tree in front never disappoints. You’ll always have fresh garnishes for your cocktails and squeezes for your sweet or savory dishes.
This charmer is move-in-ready! The primary bedroom suite is tucked away for privacy and includes its own backyard entry. The front bedroom includes a generous walk-in closet (rare bonus!). And if you need a separate home office or studio space, the detached garage is a perfect fit. A long driveway that’s gated affords you even more privacy. What's more, the location can’t be beaten. Monadnock is a quiet one-way street located just steps from the park-like Mills College campus and beloved neighborhood eateries. Also enjoy easy access to I-580 and BART.

Location Details
6008 Monadnock Way sits on a one-way street in the Millsmont neighborhood, where Oakland’s foothills begin to rise. It’s just a few minutes from stores, main freeways, and green spaces like Leona Canyon (3 mi. from home) and the beautiful Mills College campus, about 1 mi. away. Millsmont fun fact: Subdivision maps from the 1920s originally named this area Chimes Terrace because new residents could hear the bells of the Mills College 72-foot Spanish Mission-style campanile.
