850 Paramount Rd Oakland, CA 94610

Tucked in Crocker Highlands, Paramount Road comprises one select block of esteemed architecture. Number 850 is well placed along the arc of Paramount’s bulbous turning circle, and its property, is backed by a green belt. In a welcoming layout that flows ideally, majestic public rooms include a family room, while three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a master suite, span the second floor. French doors from living and family rooms to the brick-laced enclosure make it more than an alluring first impression, also a glorious-for-entertaining outdoor room. In the living room, a wood-plank-and-beam cathedral ceiling adds high drama. Built-in library shelves grace the family room, which opens outdoors front and back. The dine-in kitchen shimmers with new surfaces corresponding to the home’s character: gray-veined marble counters, subway-tile backsplashes and a Thermador gas range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The master suite, endowed with three closets, opens to a private deck.
