In the heart of Glenview, 3945 Canon Ave feels like a calm pocket of Oakland—close to everything, yet tucked into its own rhythm. The home is composed of comfortable, well-defined rooms that invite you to settle in: a place for slow mornings, easy dinners, and everyday living that doesn’t ask to be rushed. An updated kitchen anchors the day-to-day, while refreshed baths keep things feeling clean and current.
But the true signature is out back. The terraced yard unfolds in layers—deck, patios, and garden paths that create multiple “destinations” for gathering, reading, or simply stepping outside for a breath of air. Follow the path to the top tier and you’ll find a detached studio—an inspiring spot for an office, art, or a quiet retreat that’s separate from the main house.
With flexible spaces, it lives like a 3-bed, 2-bath home—room to host, work, and reset—while staying grounded in what Glenview does best: community, convenience, and a lifestyle lived on foot. Spend afternoons at Dimond Park, then head toward Park Blvd for Farmer Joe’s Marketplace, Paulista, and the neighborhood favorites that make this corner of town feel like home. And when the annual block party rolls around, you’ll understand why people stay.
