I spend a lot of time looking at San Francisco real estate, but sometimes I forget to check out Oakland. This seven-bedroom modern home is full of great lines and big windows. The home's light-filled kitchen has all the expected names: Poggenpohl cabinets, Miele and Gaggeneau appliances. There are limestone floors and 18 zone radiant heat. The home is 9,000 square feet and it has a five bridge view. The home also has a home theater and a fitness room. A spiral staircase links three floors. There is also a separate two-bedroom apartment with two baths and a kitchen. The only thing missing is a lavish pool.

Maybe what's most amazing about the house is that, according to Lydia over at the Women Building Wealth blog, the owners bought it in 2001 for $750,000. it is now listed at $6,388,000. I wonder how much money the owners put into this home.
