A Renovation That Went All the Way Through
The word "renovated" is one of real estate's most overused and underspecified terms. At 298 Elysian Fields Drive, it means something precise: every major system touched, every cosmetic surface addressed, and a floor plan reconsidered for how people actually live. This is not a fresh coat of paint and new fixtures. It is a comprehensive reimagining of a well-located Oakland Hills home.
The result is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom property that presents as genuinely turnkey — with the infrastructure confidence that comes from knowing the drainage, electrical, and building envelope have all been modernized rather than deferred.
A brand-new kitchen at the heart of the home, luxury vinyl plank throughout, three fully updated bathrooms — and a bonus suite with its own ensuite bath and private entrance that adds a dimension most homes simply don't have.
The Kitchen and Main Living Areas
The kitchen is the centerpiece of the renovation and it shows. Brand new from the ground up: crisp white shaker cabinetry, a statement blue island with marble waterfall countertop, skylight overhead, and globe pendants that fill the room with warm light. Premium stainless appliances including a professional range anchor the cooking wall. The geometric tile backsplash adds texture without competing — a considered choice that holds up on closer inspection.
The open floor plan means the kitchen and living room are in genuine conversation with each other. New luxury vinyl plank flooring runs the full length of the home — warm, continuous, and impossible to distinguish from hardwood at a glance. The sun-drenched living room reads large, with picture windows that pull the mature trees outside into the room.
The Bonus Suite: A Room That Changes the Equation
The most distinctive feature of 298 Elysian Fields is its versatile bonus room — a fully ensuite space with its own bathroom and private entrance that functions independently of the main house. The possibilities are genuine: a guest suite that offers real privacy, a home office with client access, an au pair or in-law arrangement, or, with appropriate permitting, a rental opportunity that meaningfully changes the financial profile of ownership.
In the Oakland Hills market, where four-bedroom homes at this price point are consistently competitive, the bonus suite elevates 298 Elysian Fields into a different category of consideration for buyers whose needs extend beyond the standard bedroom count.
The Outdoor Space and Systems
The back patio is expansive and oriented toward entertaining — low-maintenance landscaping that allows the space to be used rather than tended. The indoor-outdoor connection is a genuine feature of the floor plan, with the main living areas opening naturally toward the patio.
Beneath the surface: a new drainage system and fully modernized electrical throughout. These are not glamorous improvements, but they are the ones that matter most when buyers are evaluating the true cost of ownership. At 298 Elysian Fields, the peace of mind is built in.

Sequoyah · Oakland Hills
The Sequoyah neighborhood of Oakland sits in the East Bay hills, surrounded by the open space preserves of Knowland Park and adjacent green space. Easy freeway access and proximity to Montclair Village make it a practical choice for Bay Area commuters who want genuine seclusion at home.
Elysian Fields Drive is one of the corridor's most consistent streets — architecturally varied, well-maintained, and repeatedly sought after by buyers who know the Oakland Hills market. Three homes on this street have been represented by The Grubb Company.
