Spacious public rooms, stylish yard define Oakland Contemporary

Spacious public rooms, stylish yard define Oakland Contemporary Twice a week, The Chronicle features a home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character. Mediterranean flavor permeates this four-bedroom home in the Oakland Hills designed by noted architect Mark Becker. A granite-topped island with built-in seating area is in the center of the chef’s kitchen that has Jenn-Air appliances and a hot water tap above the cooktop. The master suite sits atop a turned staircase and includes a spa bathroom with soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Light-filled public rooms with high ceilings and ample space are off the foyer. Roses, succulents, plums, figs and pomegranates grow in a drought-tolerant garden around a brick patio that has a built-in fire pit and gas barbecue. The Walk-Through is produced by Sentinel Media Services for The San Francisco Chronicle.
