The Cush Real Estate by Design team is proud to present our newest listing at 2447 Scout Road in Oakland.
Incredible lodge-like abode on a rare 1.2-acre wooded oasis located just under a mile from Montclair Village. Meandering paths, a year-round stream winding through redwoods and Japanese maples, fruit and ornamental trees as well as a multitude of diverse flora and fauna promise to offer daily delights within this setting of peaceful seclusion and exceptional privacy. Upon entering the home one is captivated by the rustic stone and brick fireplace of truly epic proportions anchoring the home’s great room, dining area, and study. Framed by vaulted raw wood ceilings and hand-hewn posts and beams, this bespoke home guarantees to invoke the finest of emotions, memories, and inspiration.
Much of the Heartwood Redwood used in the house was repurposed from the original scout cabins of Camp Dimond (1919-1948) that formally used this same land and adds to the home’s natural nostalgia. The chef’s kitchen is a delight with a tranquil combination of original redwood cabinets, Fireclay backsplash tiles, silestone suede quartz counters, and gourmet stainless appliances, a perfect blend of rustic beauty with modern convenience. The cozy primary suite is positioned in its own corner of the home looking out over the wooded lands and offers two large walk-in closets with custom built-in storage, and a stunning bathroom featuring earth tone tiles, redwood tansu style cabinets, a deep soaking tub, and shower. A peaceful loft space overlooking the great room is found upstairs lending itself perfectly as an office or den, and the adjacent upper-level bedroom opens onto a spacious rooftop deck overlooking the estate’s forested grounds. Adjacent to the house is a separate ADU studio with a full bath, kitchenette, and deck looking down on the meandering creek.
Surrounded by patios, decks, and gardens, the home also offers a relaxing, secluded hot tub tucked under a glorious Japanese maple as well as a sports court with a basketball hoop for play. The two-car garage has been outfitted with updated electrical perfect for a shop and just steps away is an additional hidden spacious storage shed that could almost serve as an artist’s retreat. A few of the upgrades made to the home include a new water heater, UV disinfectant added to the furnace, wired ethernet with high-speed fiber optic cable, insulated attic and crawl space, newer roof, extensive irrigation system, terraced stone walls, french drain along a portion of the house, and central AC to keep the home cool on hot summer days. The property offers so many unique settings to soak in the surrounding natural settings: it is a joy to sit under the covered front porch on a rainy day or stay warm and cozy near the fireplace in the glowing redwood great room, soak up the sun on the upper deck, or meditate by the creek surrounded by redwoods. Every season offers unique beauty with flowering fruit trees in the spring, verdant summer shade, spectacular fall color, and winter waterfalls along the creek.
