About This Home
∎
Tucked among towering redwoods in Montclair's beloved Merriewood neighborhood, 6201 Thornhill is equal parts architectural gem and woodland retreat. Built in 1977, this home offers the confidence of more modern construction while delivering the architectural character that has made A-frames enduring design favorites. The experience begins before you ever open the front door. Pull into the private driveway beneath towering redwoods, where parking for up to three cars is a rare luxury in the hills. From there, a staircase begins the journey home. At the top, a sculptural collection of mature succulents welcomes you, signaling that you've escaped to your own modern treehouse. Inside, life unfolds across three thoughtfully separated levels, giving everyone-and everything-its own place. The lower level is dedicated to rest and retreat. The primary suite opens onto a secluded deck. It's the perfect place for journaling, an evening glass of wine, or simply listening to the breeze move through the canopy. This isn't the deck you'll use for entertaining-it's the one you'll quietly claim as your own. Laundry is conveniently located on this level as well. The main floor is where life comes together. Beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, the living room, dining area, and beautifully reimagined kitchen create an inviting space suited for quiet mornings and lively gatherings. The kitchen has been stylishly transformed from top to bottom. Just beyond, the second bedroom and beautifully renovated bath complete this level. Step outside onto the newly rebuilt deck where dining alfresco, container gardening, or simply soaking in the peaceful tree views become part of everyday life. Above it all, the loft is ready to become whatever you need it to be-a home office, music lounge, artist's studio, library, yoga retreat, or simply a space to let your imagination wander. One of the home's greatest surprises is just how connected it feels. Leave the car at home and stroll to Yarrow Nursery, the Montclair Swim Club, Thornhill Coffee House, Payakk, Thornhill Elementary, St. John's Episcopal School, and the storybook-like Montclair Library. It's a neighborhood where errands become conversations, neighbors become friends, and familiar faces become part of everyday life. If you've been waiting for a home with personality, you may have just found your place.

Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese. A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
