6301 Hillmont Drive Oakland, CA 94605

Welcome to your very own cottagecore dream, nestled in the storybook serenity of Oakland's upper Millsmont. Tucked along the gentle slopes of Hillmont Drive, this classic bungalow wraps practical needs in old-soul beauty. Two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms offer cozy, deliberate living, while a detached garage provides additional storage and a flexible lower-level bonus space is perfect for a home office and/or creative studio. And then there's the garden. An oversized lot unfolds into a layered outdoor sanctuary: mature landscaping, two levels of patios made for slow mornings and golden hour al fresco dinners, and a greenhouse just waiting for your seedlings and daydreams. The updated kitchen and bathroom feel fresh and functional without sacrificing historic character. Batchelder tile gleams with artisan history. Hardwood floors glow underfoot. Original cabinetry offers a sweet touch in a home that has been cherished for years. Since 2021, the owner has poured over $50,000 into thoughtful, meaningful upgrades: a new Mitsubishi mini-split system (A/C and heat) for year-round comfort, a new main electrical panel, full removal and replacement of knob-and-tube wiring, a renovated driveway, new gutters throughout, and new drywall in the daylight basement. The Dimond District's beloved cafés and shops, the charm of Montclair, access to Fruitvale BART, and the convenience of San Leandro are all just moments away. 6301 Hillmont Drive isn't just a place to live; it's a place to thrive.
