About This Property
Set on a half acre in the Oakland hills, 2871 Morley Drive is a
private, renovated mid-century retreat where architecture,
landscape, and lifestyle converge in a singular, immersive vision.
Spanning more than 3,000 square feet, the home has been
thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom by an esteemed designer,
resulting in a fresh, contemporary interpretation of classic
design. Every detail feels cohesive and intentional, less a
renovation and more a seamless architectural statement. Walls of
glass and multiple access points invite the outdoors in, dissolving
the boundary between interior and landscape. A broad, elevated
patio extends along the south and east sides of the home, offering
sweeping outlooks and a built-in banquette ideal for dining,
entertaining, or quiet mornings surrounded by the treetops. Inside,
richly layered tones, organic textures, and warm finishes mirror
the natural beauty beyond the glass, creating a harmonious
connection between home and garden. The grounds unfold like a
private Balinese-inspired retreat, shaped by the owners' travels
and their vision of a tranquil escape. Lush, terraced gardens
feature sculptural plantings, winding pathways, and moments of
discovery throughout. The gentle sound of fountains weaves through
the landscape, while natural elements lend a sense of calm. A
cascading water feature welcomes you at the entry, guiding the
approach past tree ferns, philodendrons, and phormium to the front
door. Beyond, the landscape reveals a series of curated outdoor
spaces designed for relaxation, connection, and play. Fire, water,
and sunlight come together to create a true resort-like atmosphere.
The lower level opens to an inviting outdoor living environment,
complete with a hot tub spa and multiple lounge areas. At its
center, a sculptural pond and gas-lit fire feature form an intimate
gathering space - an outdoor room perfect for evening conversation
beneath the open sky. Meandering paths and tucked-away seating
areas enhance the sense of privacy, giving the entire property a
secluded, almost magical quality. Inside, the home continues to
prioritize comfort and retreat. The serene primary suite includes a
soundproofed wall, ensuring exceptional quiet and rest. Throughout,
the home balances architectural sophistication with the ease of
indoor-outdoor living. 2871 Morley Drive is more than a residence -
it is a private hillside sanctuary, where mid-century design meets
the atmosphere of a faraway escape.
