Contemporary farmhouse character became the goal of this new speculative house now under construction in a wooded area of the Oakland hills. The property steeply slopes upward from the street and is surrounded by large oak trees and a dramatic twenty-foot high rock outcropping. These features provide focal points for various rooms. The house has a two-car garage, formal and informal living areas with four bedrooms, and three and a half bathrooms in 2,869 square feet.
