5800 Mendoza Drive

The heart of the home is the expansive, light-filled chef’s kitchen, remodeled in 2022 with both beauty and function in mind. This elegant space provides plenty of room for cooking, gathering and entertaining, and features an oak floor, a large center island that doubles as a prep area and place for casual meals, and Calacatta quartz counters beneath subtle gray and white backslash subway tiles. Bosch appliances, a farmhouse sink, stylish light fixtures and abundant natural light combine to make this kitchen a pleasure to be in. Garage access, an attractive full bathroom, and a laundry room complete this main level.

The home's second level includes three sun-filled bedrooms and a second full bathroom. The primary bedroom is located to the left at the top of the stairs, across from an attractively remodeled bathroom with timeless finishes, a dual vanity and a soaking tub/shower combination. The generously sized primary bedroom includes a vintage oak floor, crown moulding and San Francisco Bay and Mt Tamalpais views from multiple exposures, including a picture window that takes optimal advantage of the panoramic views. Two more bedrooms on this level include hardwood floors, crown moulding, and closets with built-ins.

Additional improvements and highlights include dual-pane windows in most rooms, stylish light fixtures, upgraded electrical, new exterior and interior paint (2024-2025), an expansive backyard deck accessed from the kitchen, and carefully considered landscaping improvements in the level backyard with areas of grass and hardscaping.

5800 Mendoza Drive offers a vintage home filled with charming period architectural details blended with thoughtful modern updates. With easy access to Montclair Village, Rockridge and Elmwood restaurants and shopping, Temescal Regional Park, freeways and BART, this home is truly exceptional.
