Plenty of light in 4-story Oakland home

Twice a week, The Chronicle features a home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character.

Both the formal dining room and sunken living room share a two-faced marble fireplace and open to a tiled deck.

A greenhouse window stands beyond the kitchen sink, while the breakfast nook includes a bay window with seating area.

Quartz and stainless steel finishes punctuate a modern kitchen with professional appliances and task lights beneath the custom cabinets.

The lower level opens directly out to a brick patio above a planting garden.

A jetted tub and frameless glass shower finish the master suite’s spa bathroom.

Windows throughout the home welcome in the sun, but each pales in comparison to the top floor — which has an atelier lined with solarium windows.
