Harmonious Living Amidst Lush Tea Gardens. Step into a sanctuary of timeless design and natural tranquility in the Oakland Hills. Designed by renowned UC architect Seiichi Kami, this authentic Japanese Minka-style wooden home masterfully blends traditional craftsmanship with modern sophistication. The moment you enter, a 25-foot vaulted cathedral ceiling soars above, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and serenity. Sunlight through floor-to-ceiling windows illuminates the open-concept living area, framing views of meticulously curated Japanese tea gardens and Knowland Park beyond. The minimalist design invites both quiet reflection and effortless entertaining. Step onto the wrap-around deck and immerse yourself in a private oasis. The Zen-inspired gardens feature tranquil koi ponds, stone pathways, and sculpted maples. This outdoor haven elevates everyday moments into rituals of peace. Tucked in the coveted Oakland Hills, this home balances seclusion with convenience. Enjoy proximity to premier golf courses, scenic parks, and easy freeway access. The Minka philosophy—rooted in simplicity, natural materials, and unity with nature—permeates every corner, offering a refuge from the modern world.
