Take in panoramic views from all three stories of this charming Oakland abode.

Nestled in the forested Piedmont hills sits a custom-built, contemporary stunner by architect Val Arnold—a favorite of Architectural Digest—that echoes of its natural surrounds.

Sitting on a glorious green acre, the home has an open plan and floor-to-ceiling doors and windows that seamlessly transition to the outdoors. Built in 1971, the space maintains its original character with lots of pattern play—tile and hardwood floors, intricate ceilings, brass and wrought iron railings, wallpapers, gauzy draperies, and crystal chandeliers.

The updated kitchen even has its own balcony, and the master suite has a large soaking tub with an epic view and closet space for days. But it's the fabulously retro bar room, covered in gorgeous Moroccan tile, that you'll never want to leave. The in-home cocktail lounge opens onto a zen garden with a pagoda and heated pool—you might imagine Yves Saint Laurent and his louchely clad muse Loulou de la Falaise sipping drinks here in the sun.
