Set on a half an acre in the Oakland hills, 2871 Morley Drive is a private, renovated mid-century retreat where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle converge in a single, immersive vision. Spanning more than 3,000 square feet, the home has been completely reimagined from top to bottom by an esteemed designer, creating a fresh and contemporary interpretation of mid-century architecture. The result feels cohesive and intentional - less a renovation than a seamless architectural statement.

Walls of glass and multiple doors open from nearly every room, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. A broad, elevated patio stretches along the south and east sides of the home, featuring a built-in banquette with sweeping vantage points and generous space for dining, entertaining, or quiet mornings among the canopy. The interiors echo the landscape beyond the glass, richly layered tones, natural textures, and warm finishes designed to blend with the colors of the gardens outside.

The grounds unfold like a Balinese retreat, inspired by the owners’ travels and their desire to recreate the feeling of a private oasis. Set amid lush terraced gardens, the landscape evokes a quiet sensuality - sculptural plantings, winding paths, and moments of discovery at every turn. The gentle sound of fountains moves through the garden, while stone and wood elements lend a grounded, elemental calm.

A cascading water feature welcomes you at the entry, guiding the approach past tree ferns, philodendron, and phormium before arriving at the front door. Beyond, the landscape reveals spaces designed for recreation, delight, and connection - places to gather, unwind, and experience nature throughout the day.

Fire, water, sunshine, and nature come together to create a true resort-style backdrop. The lower level opens to an outdoor living environment where a sparkling hot tub spa and multiple lounging areas invite relaxation and play. Centered, a sculptural pond and gas-lit fire create an intimate destination within the garden - an outdoor room designed for lingering evenings, conversation, and reflection beneath the open sky.

Throughout the grounds, seating areas and pathways create a sense of privacy and a touch of magic, transforming the property into a sanctuary that feels worlds away.

Inside, thoughtful features continue the sense of retreat, including a serene primary suite enhanced with a soundproofed wall for exceptional quiet and comfort. The result is a home that blends architectural vision with the pleasures of outdoor living - a private hillside oasis where mid-century design meets the atmosphere of an escape.
