3650 Brunell Dr in Oakland, CA is an extraordinary property that offers views of Downtown Oakland, the San Francisco skyline and the bay beyond.

The home was originally commissioned by the Doyle family to be built in 1947 by Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice, Frederick Lothian Longhorst. Starting off as an 846 square ft. family home, it was later renovated to the 2,256 square ft. beauty we see today.

When constructing this home, Longhorst pulled inspiration from his teacher, Frank Lloyd Wright, ensuring the use of geometric architecture and organic material in and around the property.

Upon first glance at the exterior, viewers are welcomed by the massive wooden structure that almost resembles a contemporary cabin. Just like Wright's constructions, the home is accompanied by nature all around, hugging surrounding trees, playing off the daffodils that make their debut in late winter to the Matilija poppies that open up and take their bow in the fall and more.

Nature does not only make an appearance on the outskirts of the property. Amongst entering the home viewers see cobblestone pathways, floorboards and ceilings constructed of redwood and massive walls of glass that allow for visitors to gaze at the beautiful Northern California skyline.

Great care was taken to preserve the footprint of the lower level. The exterior of the addition was constructed from reclaimed redwood from Mendocino Co. to match & compliment the original construction.

This home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a 475 sq. ft gym, a separate in-law suite, a workshop, back yard and front yard, a detached garage with soaring ceilings and a skylight and more.

This home is currently on the market and is listed at $1,249,000.
