From its elevated position in Lincoln Highlands above Oakland, this immaculately maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath single-level combines the laidback cool of Californian mid-century design with an indoor/outdoor connection, all set against a backdrop of captivating Sutro Tower and bay views. An architect's residence for 27 years, the home showcases a harmonious balance between original 1952 character details and modern upgrades for contemporary living.
