1435 Valane Drive

If you look to your left at the fairway bunker on Oakmont’s opening Par 5, you will see a small secret of a street named Valane Drive. It was here that Wisely B. Brown built this long one story traditional in 1948. The current Owners have loved living here for many years and they have preserved and enhanced the home that Mr. Brown wisely built.

The floor plan is excellent with three bedrooms, three baths and a family room. The formal entry opens to the formal living and dining rooms which have hardwood flooring, large wood windows, and a tastefully tiled wood burning fireplace. The kitchen is gorgeous with custom lightwood cabinetry, granite counters, tiled backsplash, and high end stainless appliances. Off the kitchen is the stunning family room with a high truss beam ceiling, multi-pane windows, custom built-ins, and another fireplace. The east wing hall leads to all three bedrooms. The master suite is a large retreat with a walk-in closet, two additional closets, a separate master bath, and a glass slider to the rear yard.

The large lot provides for a very private rear yard with a flat grass play area, garden beds, two outdoor dining areas, and a tranquil view of the mountain oaks. Additional features include: dual zoned air and heating, updated copper plumbing, an oversized laundry room, guest powder room, a two car attached garage, and only a four iron stroll to the Oakmont Country Club.
