Property Description
Set quietly along the hills of Montclair, and suspended between the trees and the horizon - a home shaped as much by light, outlook, and atmosphere as by architecture itself. From morning fog drifting through the canyon to the glow of the Bay and city lights settling in at dusk, the experience here is constantly changing and unmistakably Northern California. The home unfolds with an understated confidence; traditional in form yet quietly modern in the way it lives. Vaulted beam ceilings and expansive windows draw natural light deep into the interiors, creating spaces that feel open and connected to the landscape. The kitchen serves as the natural center, thoughtfully renovated and designed for gathering as much as cooking, flowing into the dining area and its dramatic volume overhead. The living and dining rooms open outward toward sweeping Bay views and a generous deck where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors disappear. Large gatherings, slow dinners with friends, morning coffee above the trees, or quiet evenings wrapped in the lights of the city all feel equally at home here. Privately positioned, the primary suite offers a slower rhythm - a peaceful retreat with a spa-like bath designed for restoration and quiet. A bedroom below is framed with views to the backyard where mature greenery, open sky, and a hot tub create a setting that feels tucked away from the pace of everyday life. Newly updated lower-level spaces introduce remarkable flexibility to the home, offering room for media, recreation, work, movement, or extended guest stays in a way that adapts naturally over time. Separate from the main residence, a 240sf detached office or studio with Velux skylights and its own heating and cooling system creates an inspiring space for creative work, focused retreat, or daily separation from the house itself. Just minutes from the shops, restaurants, cafés, and weekly farmers market of Montclair Village, yet surrounded by the serenity of the hills, 7008 Thornhill captures a version of California living that feels increasingly rare; connected to nature, architecturally grounded, and designed for the way life is actually lived.
