Beyond the interior, the rear upper deck looks over a backyard newly set with pavers, made for entertaining and everyday enjoyment, and it turns east toward the Oakland Hills, where the light shifts across the day. Downstairs, the legal ADU was built as a very large studio apartment, yet its size and layout allow it to be easily used as a two-bedroom.
